Normally I consider puddle pirates to be glorified traffic cops who come dangerously close to stolen valor by claiming veteran status. But you should tell the story of Douglas Albert Munro, a Coast Guardsman who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on Guadalcanal in support of US Marines. Munro was killed after using himself and his boat as a shield in covering the evacuation of some 500 Marines who had been surrounded by the Japanese. As he was dying of his wounds, his last words were "did they get off?" Munro is the only member of the Coast Guard to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor.
