Good luck on your new career
Landon, wear your uniform proudly and know we are back home thinking of you, praying for your safety. You are such a sweet blessing to many folks. Study hard and be the best you can be!
Congratulations! Prayers always for your safety. Thank you for your service.
Congratulations Landon, we’re all proud of you. Make yourself proud.
Congratulations, Landon! I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. The best part of my life was in the guard.
Please visit my site on our voyage back in “1966″.
The site has many items, home page is about our mission. Everything else is interesting to go through, meaning you’ll be able to see the past, the present and hopefully the future if you decide too re-up (stay in).
Enjoy your time in the Coast Guard.
