EASTPORT, Maine- Members of the Canadian and U.S. Coast Guards participated in a joint search and rescue exercise in Passamaquoddy Bay off the coast of Eastport, Maine on August 21-22, 2008. The exercise is conducted at least once a year and gives the crews an opportunity to get more familiar with the capabilities and equipment of the other agency, (Photo courtesy of Coast Guard Station Eastport)

Good evening Lauren. I hope all is well with you and that you’re having a nice summer! :) ((hugs))
Good evening Lauren, everyone,
Your thread is beautiful. I wish we would have the types of tributes where I live that I see on here taking place in other areas. I would love to be a part of something like that.
In Thailand, the people greatly love and admire King Bhumibol (Rama IX), who has led them for over 60 years. To display their respect for the king, the Thai people wear bright yellow shirts every Monday, because yellow is the official color of the king.
As we seek to live for our King, the Lord Jesus Christ, we should also show our colors of allegiance and appreciation for all He has done for us. But how? What are the “colors” that declare to the world that we serve the King of kings and Lord of lords?
The night before His crucifixion, King Jesus told us what our “colors” should be when He said, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). His disciple John echoed this when he wrote, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another” (1 John 4:11).
When we display Christ’s love for our fellow believers, it is more than just kindness or care. It is one of the most tangible ways we can show our love and devotion for the Savior.
As we interact with fellow Christ-followers, let’s be sure to show our colors. That will honor our King before a watching world.
Thanks for the salute!

Good evening everyone!

USS Dallas, CGC Dallas leaving Gibraltar (FOR RELEASE)
MEDITERRANEAN SEA - The USS Dallas and the Coast Guard Cutter Dallas leave Gibraltar together Monday, Aug. 11, 2008.
The CGC Dallas, a 378-foot high endurance cutter based in Charleston, S.C., stopped in Gibraltar for maintenance halfway through a four-month deployment on Aug. 1, 2008. During the first half of the deployment, the cutter made stops in Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe, Ghana and Senegal to train and collaborate with the host nations' navies and coast guards in support of the Africa Partnership Station program, an initiative aimed to strengthen maritime safety and security in west and central Africa.
The USS Dallas, a Los Angeles class submarine stationed in Groton, Conn., made a port stop in Gibraltar before heading home at the end of a six-month deployment. Their mission during the deployment was to conduct operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism. (Coast Guard photo/Petty Officer 2nd Class Lauren Jorgensen)
