About 25 Awesome Facts About The Coast Guard: Odd And
Product Description The Coast Guard does a lot more than just guard the coast: it goes all over the world saving lives, fighting smugglers, and being really, really awesome. Like did you know the Coast Guard drove the landing craft on D-Day? Or that it helped the Wright Brothers fly? Did you know that it helped create the Navy SEALs and flew B-17s? This book is a collection of 25 of the strangest, most obscure, and most AWESOME facts from the history of the military branch no one remembers. Complete with 88 pages of cartoons, diagrams, and ways to make fun of the Navy. Based on the webcomic by The Claw of Knowledge, and funded with Kickstarter. About the Author Brian Runion is a former Coast Guard officer and creator of the blog and webcomic, The Claw of Knowledge. You can find him online at clawofknowledge.com, on Facebook, on Instagram @clawofknowledge, or by screaming 'The Claw of Knowledge' loudly at your mobile device. Brian grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where trees and mountains are appropriately-sized. He graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy 2-3 years before you got there, back when it was still tough. He received his Masters in Fancy Political Stuff from the University of Michigan, and now uses those advanced skills to make cartoons in PowerPoint. He hates coffee, water chestnuts, and writing 'About the Author' pages. He likes seaweed snacks, Zipfizz, and rain.
