MODERN SNIPER: COAST GUARD…Thursday, Feb. 25 at 9 p.m.

Thanks to Mr. Fay for the heads up on this show. Normally I hate when the flyboys get all the credit for everything, remember how it was after The Guardian!! Well, I’m willing to let my bias go for this show. Hopefully it’s good! Details from the USCG press release:
