all i know reference this subject is that the USCG's own docent, at this year's open house in Baltimore, stated that they had coast guard cutters in service during the AR.

and as for taking time to go do a bunch of research for a person whom i suspect wouldn't accept it as TRUTH, REGARDLESS of the SOURCE (the "DAMNyankee coven" members accept NO SOURCE that doesn't agree with their PREJUDICES!), i just CHOOSE not to take what little time i do have in a fruitless attempt to convince the UN-educatable!

Hmm. Who to believe? You telling me what someone told you, with no independent collaboration, or a host of information, including the USCG Historian's Office? Hard to decide what's more credible.

I'd at least look at any source. But you provide none at all, while I show the USCG Historian's Office.

Here's another source, from the US Dept. of Defense:

History of Coast Guard Day
August 4 is celebrated as Coast Guard Day to honor the establishment on that day in 1790 of the Revenue Cutter Service, forebear of today's Coast Guard, by the Treasury Department. On that date, Congress, guided by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, authorized the building of a fleet of ten cutters, whose responsibility would be enforcement of the first tariff laws enacted by Congress under the Constitution.

So let's see where we are. On one hand, the USCG Historian and the Defense Department. On the other hand, you telling me what someone allegedly told you. Then there's Fox News, The National Archives, and a FReeper Canteen thread that you yourself posted on.
