My condolences to the Coast Guard
Bookworm on Jul 07 2010 at 3:55 pm | Filed under: Military
Thanks to the kind auspices of the Navy League, for two years running now I’ve enjoyed hospitality from the local Coast Guard, as they’ve taken us out on the Bay to enjoy the Blue Angel fly overs. Without exception, the crew members we’ve met have been lovely — generous with their time, and very gracious hosts.
I was so sorry to learn that the Coast Guard lost three of its own today in a helicopter crash off the coast of Washington. My thoughts are with the family and friends they left behind. One crew member survived and is still in the hospital. I hope that he (or she) recovers quickly and completely.

Bookie,
Thanks for this. I have numerous friends that fly helos for the Coast Guard out of San Francisco.
That Air Station must be very quiet right now as are all CG installations.
These accidents will always happen, because military aviation is inherently dangerous.
I offer my prayers blessings for the fallen. I also pray for comfort to the families and to their fellow Coasties.
