The following is a video of Coast Guard cutter Boutwell as it departs Jan. 12, 2009 as part of the USS Boxer Expeditionary Strike Group. Boutwells deployment will take nearly six months to cover a route circumnavigating the globe.
The video features an interview with Adm. Thad Allen, Coast Guard Commandant, taken Jan. 10, 2009 when Allen visited the Boutwell.
Both my parents served on the USCG Boutwell twenty years ago (It's where they met!). I hope to one day join and serve on that ship as well! ^_^
God Bless the Coasties! WOOT!
