Text Box: “When you know you have saved somebody’s life, the only word to describe it is: euphoria. This is what we join the Coast Guard to do — there are many other missions we have — but this what we join the Coast Guard to do, save other lives. There is absolutely no better feeling than when somebody says, ‘Thanks, you saved my life.’”   LCDR Laura Guth, USCG, Speaking about the rescue of the crew, F/V Alaskan Monarch.   From Savage Seas; Killer Waves &  Rescues, a PBS presentation
