"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

Veterans Day

To all those who served or who are serving, enjoy the day! And thanks!

Photo by the late Captain Virgil Gant, USNR, CO of MIUWU-108, Corpus Christi, when this photo was taken. The pilots of the US Customs P-3 were also part of the 108 crew, serving their country as reservists and federal agents. Prior to Desert Storm, we worked with both Customs and the Coast Guard along the South Texas coast and in other locations. MIUWU 108 was one of the units called for duty in Port Security/Harbor Defense during the first Gulf War.
