United States Coast Guard
People joining the Coast Guard to become a real life hero. The U.S. government faces a serious problem protecting the home-front and, to protect a country, we need heroes. People can be a hero by joining the U.S. Coast Guard and protecting America before the threat hits American soil. As a child we all have heroes. A U.S. Coast Guard listened to his grandfather's stories of his World War II experience as a U.S. Marine, from when he was at Pearl Harbor during the attack to utilizing radar to detect Japanese warships and airplanes. He was member of the most prestigious military force of that era and also a member of what is widely considered the golden generation of America. We need to realize that the real heroes are the men and women who risk their lives every day for their country, what better way to protect America than by joining a branch of the military. My dream to become a hero was realized with the choice to join the U.S. Coast Guard.
