 The coaches allowed him to practice with their, when they were practicing for a team. And as you know, it's going to be a problem to find out. The first stitch together by those that spoke this morning was this is a, it's a Coast Guard story, and it's a football story, but it's really an American story. You know, it's about the exceptionalism of our country. And it's exceptionalism, you know, to think about Emlent and Al, whose life was way too short at 50, a little over 50 years and a half century, but Garrett Hill, a local guy, you heard the story, you read about how he grew up and how it was a little bit of multiculturalism, but he gives it the tail end of the Jim Crow era. You know, that kind of went into the early 1950s. And here's a guy that, you know, grew up like every kid in the neighborhood, wanted to be a radner, a red raider, and played football there, and he did that. And I don't think he did that other than he wanted to go be like every other kid that grew up in Garrett Hill to just put his skills and athleticism on the ball field be the best he can. And then he was really exceptional at it. And then, you know, goes off to University of Toledo and plays college ball, which was a little bit unique in the period of time for some of his background and his color. And breaks his back, you know, there's the call of the nation at war and he wants to serve his nation and rejected by the Army and the Navy, you know, the neck injury and I'm not sure if there's other underlying reasons here, but the Coast Guard saw the wherewithal and said, hey, come join our team. And while he served in the Coast Guard, you know, he was over in Papua New Guinea in 1944 when the USS Entertainment, the ship with cargo ship that he was assigned to, comes under attack by Japanese aerial torpedoes. They were loading 6,000 tons of, or 6,000 pounds of ammunition and fuel and there's a huge hole on the side of the ship. And one machinist mate was rescued by one first class steward, mate Emmeline Tenelle, it was Fred Shaver. He was the only person in the engine room that survived that day because Emmeline raced in and grabbed him and put the flames out of his hands, burned his hands severely and dragged him to higher level medical care on the ship, the sick man. And that's the first bit of heroism. If you think about that, Emmeline Tenelle was a first class steward's mate. He was a steward's mate because that's what you could do as a black member of the Coast Guard and the Navy back in those days. He didn't have a choice. In subsequent years, there were some of the South foot and they integrated the services, but that was his choice. And it was his choice to go in and rescue a shipmate and the words of Shaver's daughter are pretty impactful about, you know, they grew up with the Emmeline Tenelle name as part of their family history. They realized that they would not be the Shaver family without his rogues. And then you fast forward to 1946 up in the waters off of Newfoundland, 32 degree water when another shipmate, this time the shipmate falls into the water, wasn't under attack, 32 degree water. Emmeline Tenelle did what great Americans, great Coast Guardsmen, great service members do. He had a bias for action. He was offense on defense. He jumped in the water and he pulled his shipmate to rescue at great personal risk and peril. But that's what he was. He was a great American. And I think what I'm excited about is the merger of these stories. You talked about history and art. It doesn't need from the school. Thanks for your words and a coach and a dad. And we all reflect on that. And you know, and I think as you do get older, as you rise and ranks in a service and I sat in your seats just doing your job. You're just being young guys. You get your family. You get your work. You're excited. And you start to realize the importance of the history of an organization. For us, you know, September 27th just recently, the 79th anniversary of the death of Douglas Monroe who pulled off a battalion of the Chessie puller Marines from Guadalcanal. We know that story. The Marines know our history better than us. Skip Bowen here with that Allen back when Skip was the master chief and that was the 23rd comment on the Coast Guard. I got the number on Skip. Yes, sir. Yeah. You know, they had this great idea about how does an organization that's not really in tune with its own history elevate that. And they thought about this class of cutters. The fast response goes to Sentinel class. And we're going to name it after different things. And first, then they came back and said, how about we recognize our history and really look at our enlisted heroes predominantly. And here we are today. So we are stitching sort of the best of the Coast Guard history and the best men and women that served and are part of that history with an NFL great, Hamilton Allen. You know the story. Six-time all NFL, two-time national football champ on two different teams, the Packers and the Giants, nine-time pro bowler, first full-time assistant black coach in the NFL on two teams. And he went to the Hall of Fame as the first defensiveman and the first black African-American. And I'll tell you what a great merger of stories. And I think that it really goes down to at the core, just a great American.
