A Coastie tells people across the decades, “I’m in the Coast Guard.” In 2016 the reply is “Oh, like that movie The Finest Hours?”; in 2006, “...like that movie The Guardian?”; in 2000, “...like that movie The Perfect Storm?” In 1986, a woman asks, “...like that movie Top Gun?” and he gives up: “Yes.”

Everybody ready for The Finest Hours to be the only thing people know about the Coast Guard?!
