Blackfive Blog (the paratrooper of love) notes that the Coast Guard saved many, many people during Katrina, and got little credit or publicity for it...
LINKONE at MiserableDonutsblog discusses how his National Guard unit is called up for all sorts of things, and comments:"2005 was almost a reprise of 1993, except that it was a huge amount of National Guard, from many places - alongside active component soldiers, the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. I see why the Navy was involved. The Coast Guard was a natural too. In fact, if anyone has been slighted in the whole Katrina relief effort, it has been the United States Coast Guard. The Coasties were saving people before anyone realized there was a major problem. They saved thousands and did not receive even a tiny fraction of the credit they were due. It was easier for the press to follow the 82nd Airborne around New Orleans. .."
Well, if the MSM bothered to hire veterans in the name of "diversity", maybe someone could point it out to them...
