In Honor and Memory of those who have spent endless months at sea and countless hours standing a lonely watch while thinking of home and family. Keeping the sea lanes open and our coastlines safe. This will be a changing tribute to all who have walked the decks to ensure that you keep what should be your most prized possesion... FREEDOM

For my first tribute, I honor the Coast Watchers and Light House Keepers that became part of what we now know as the U.S. Coast Guard.

I have a great affection for the light houses and a deep respect for those who tended them, it was a hard and thankless job. Most Light Houses are located far away from everything. I guess that is what made them so appealing to most, but to me My attraction to them came from my knowing when I see a familiar one... I know I am comming home from the seas... Entering a safe Port...
