Never thought I'd be saying that today we'll be talking about a badass member of the Coast Guard, but I'm glad to be wrong about that. Douglas Munro was just a regular, genuinely good dude when he saw the writing on the wall and knew the US was gonna be balls deep in some German and Japanese ass soon. So he signed up as a Coastie because he wanted to help people. Then he went about learning everything he could to do his job, then learn the next job, until it was time to use all those skills at one of the most important battles in the Pacific Theater. Enjoy!
