Thanks to Kathy Weitz for sharing that photo she took this morning as the US Coast Guard cutter Healy sailed through Elliott Bay on the final leg of its trip home to the downtown Seattle waterfront. According to this Associated Press story published by our partners at the Seattle Times, the Healy has been out on patrol for 254 days. KING 5.com has video from its arrival at Pier 36.
Welcome home Coasties! After many months serving others, I hope you find some nice R&R! Thank you, from a greatful nation.
My son serves our country in the USCG and is stationed in Seattle. He was a member of the Healy crew until May, 2011. It was a long 254 days at sea and I am certain he is happy to have all his buddies back in port again. Thank you men and women of the USCGC Healy for your many months of service. It is Christmas in February for these coasties and their families!
Sorry, comment time is over.
