2 cutters removed from FY13 Coast Guard budget - Navy News News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Navy Times
This is not good - we need those cutters to replace older cutters. What drives me nuts is no one is going after domestic spending which is the real problem. So we sacrifice national security to so we can maintain a huge culture of dependency?!
'It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.'
Preserving a piece of US Maritime History - invaluable
The USS Olympia is a cruiser that fought in the Spanish American War in 1898 and has been preserved in Philadelphia. She's a one of a kind ship, a national historic monument, and in danger. She needs approximately $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. If you have the resources, or connections to those resources, please consider helping. (full disclosure - there is no financial benefit to me to ask the question - we need to save this ship for posterity). Please contact me at 612-599-1935 or bdskon@fedex.com if you have additional questions.

tough, tough situation. My concern is for the pilot.....in this case it appears he did the best he could with the information at hand. I wonder how he's doing.
