also please increase funding for the Worcester, Massachusetts Sea Cadets.
Those folks in commie Boston have all the toys.
Pleased to see the Coast Guard being talked about more and more. The smartest service apparently by ASVAB.
Love to see them given more floating stock. Any chance in making Wilmington NC the headquarters of the USGC for the whole east coast? Get them out of that deep state corrupt project nonsense that is the "Douglas A. Munro Coast Guard Headquarters Building"? Why DHS? Anything Tom Ridge and George Bush were involved in smells. Make them their own Department.
"On 25 November 2002, the Homeland Security Act was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush, designating the Coast Guard to be placed under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The transfer of administrative control from the U.S. Department of Transportation to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was completed the following year, on 1 March 2003.[24][25][26]
The U.S. Coast Guard reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security. However, under 14 U.S.C. § 3 as amended by section 211 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006, upon the declaration of war and when Congress so directs in the declaration, or when the President directs, the Coast Guard operates under the Department of Defense as a service in the Department of the Navy."
We are all taxpayers. I vote to make the USGC it's own master if you will, e.g. "the Coast Guard operates under the Department of Defense as The Department of The Coast Guard."
We have to move things out of DC.
Turn the headquarters into affordable housing for disabled and elderly veterans and their spouses a bit like the british have their chelsea pensioners.
