My nephew was about to graduate from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. We lived in Connecticut at the time, so we didn’t have far to go. The graduation would be held in New London, the home of the Academy. This was before 9/11, when the Coast Guard Academy’s main focus was still “Search and Rescue,” before they became “Homeland Security.”
