Updated: A true hero has passed. Please say goodbye to Shawn Whaley. He was a US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. He passed away on July 31st at the age of 43. He was responsible for the saving of dozens of lives over a 22 year career. Fair winds and following seas Shawn.
I retired from the Coast Guard after 21 wonderful years of flying search and rescue. I would like to say that I have had the distinct honor of working with and knowing on deeply personal levels some true heroes. I am talking about the kind of people that they make movies about. With this comes the knowledge these true heroes are also people prone to the same flaws that everyone is. It is hard to put into words the value of the knowledge and understanding I have received about people, life and love through these relationships.
I would like you to think about doing something for yourself that will make you much more enlightened. This suggestion is not going to make you money, add to your social standing or impress the opposite sex. It will just be deeply satisfying and enlightening.
