Santa Cruz veteran recalls Coast Guard service

G.E. Montero thinks fondly of her year and a half living on the ocean. After enlisting in the Coast Guard in 1979, Montero put in a request to go to sea.

G.E. Montero,I salute you as a Veteran today.And thank you for your service to our Country. I noticed that the SENTINEL has no other articles in Honoring or recognition to our Veterans today. Today is Veterans Day,I do not think Santa Cruz recognizes this important Holiday. I live in Modesto and in Santa Cruz all my family is and has been in Santa Cruz since 1938. Here,even the students at Calif. State University Stanislaus are having a Celebration supporting our troops and rendering honors to our Veterans. There are numerous parades,gatherings through out the County. The Modesto Bee has always been a great supporter of our Troops and Veterans. Our prayers to all our Troops and Veterans,Thank you for your service to your Country. USMC 1962-1968
