Shankster Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Tidy is the 231st birthday for the US Coast Guard. Alexander Hamilton initiated the need for the Revenue Cutter Service in 1790, later came the Life Saving Service, Lighthouse Service, and eventually the Coast Guard was made which absorbed all of those duties.

He did a tour during the midst of WWII, spent some time in France. It seems like it is often overlooked as an option for people to join up. But it is a good one.
