Military Tribute - US Coast Guard

This is a video I did for a class project, we each had to do a ten minute video on a topic of our choice, I chose the US Coast Guard. I hope you like it!

Song 1: Track 12, The Dreams of Boys
Song 2: Track 23, October Sky
Song 3: Track 09, Its a Thing of Glory

Update 10/25/2011: Thanks everyone for the great feedback on my video! I just wanted to say that I am currently in the process of applying for Coast Guard Officer Candidate School. Wish me luck!

Great video, I watch or listen to it every single day, I love it!

But where can I get a hold on the music that was used in the video? that music, I think is a great inspirational source.

@krillbjork The music is from the soundtrack to the movie October Sky. I don't think these songs are available on itunes, but you might be able to buy the CD on amazon or ebay.

@FinalDestination94 Also, good luck with OCS and I hope you graduate as a proud officer!

Great video hollis4004. My brother Logan G. Wright took the photo from 0:40-0:45, what are the chances of seeing that on YouTube?! I hope that the Coast Guard Academy accepts me, because I would love to join the Coast Guard family.

thank you, this was very good. LTCMDR, USCG.

As the proud son of a 30 year CG aviator (who we just buried) I've watched a great many of these types of videos of late. This is far and away the best one I've seen. Very moving images and music. Kudos Hollis...you've done right by the CG and done yourself proud.

Good luck w/ OCS. Keep us posted on your progress.

@nonezoner I don't think he did because it wasn't 10 minutes long.
