Retired Captain Mohlenbrok spoke to approximately 90 men and women from the council. The Placer County Council is our local division of the Navy League, headquartered in Auburn, California, and active throughout Northern California. They have members from all branches of the military, and members with no military background, all sharing in our various activities. They sponsor the Sacramento Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets, and the Navy League Cadet Corps Training Ship California. These fine young men and women (ages 10-18) demonstrate to us the great potential of our future. Successful Yard Sale! 09/19/2010

Information about the 1705 Memorial Website was handed out to hundreds of very appreciative people at the Capital Air Show Sept. 11-12, 2010. I love going to air shows. After talking with so many people, I always find a new found love for the United States Coast Guard. One story in particular from a woman who lost her sister to the sea made me very proud to be a Guardian. Her story also gave me a much deeper understanding of what the 7 crew members of Rescue 1705 gave, "for the life of another." | AuthorUSCG Air Station Sacramento ArchivesOctober 2011 CategoriesAll |
