Retired publisher of the Ketchikan Daily News. Lew M. Williams, Jr. writes: Acts of heroism have occurred in almost every major city and spanned outlying areas from St. Lawrence Island to Delta Junction, from North Pole to Prince of Wales. Author Ferrell contacted more than 113 people and consulted many files to recount the heroism that has led to 30 medal awards since the first bestowed in 1965. Ferrell is a polished professional writer, as this book, her 12th indicates. (Review published in the Juneau Empire, the Anchorage News, and the Ketchikan Daily News.)

Well done book about the smallest of the five military branches. Esprit de Corps is high in the "Lifesavers" branch. Should have mentioned Coast Guard has "Jobs that Matter" performing every day even in peacetime and the taxpayer gets biggest bang for the buck with this military branch. Most employers seem to look at the Coast Guard as the most selective branch with the most professional members at all levels.
