Nice tribute to most of the armed forces. What about the men and women of the Coast Guard. Yes the Coast Guard has been and always will be a branch of the Armed Forces regulated by the Uniform Code of Military Justice. IMHO this is the toughest overall branch and the least recognized. Between combat, law enforcement and around the clock rescue ops they are constantly in peril doing their duty. When all of the other Armed Forces, and I mean all of them, are holed up to ride out the storm the Coast Guard moves out to rescue the mayday calls.
