I appreciate your service to our country Sir. Yes, you are correct, the Coast Guard is often overlooked but like the other branches of our military they have a job to do and provide a valuable service. The objective of my graphic is two fold to pay respect to all who serve and to make a personal statement about myself. I am unable to serve our country due to a physical disability but my family has a proud tradition of service to this country. Dispite my inability to serve I still try to conduct myself in a manner that is consisitant with the highest traditions of our Armed Services. The final graphic will include a banner at the bottom which reads "I Wear My Uniform On The Inside"
Once again, Thank You For Your Service.
