Celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie and Coast Guard Day.
The United States Coast Guard is one of the six US Armed Forces. While this maritime service is a branch of the military, they are a multi-missioned service. During peacetime, it operates under the Department of Homeland Security. However, their responsibilities can be transferred to the US Navy by the President of the United States any time deemed necessary, or by Congress during war times.
Since 1790, the Coast Guard’s missions have changed. As the nation and the military services grew, maritime needs evolved. In 1917, the first Coast Guard aviators graduated from Pensacola Naval Aviation Training School. Today, aviation is a large part of the Coast Guard’s security, enforcement, and defense readiness.

John Corbett and Bo Derek secretly tied the knot in December after almost 20 years of dating.
“Around Christmas time we got married. Bo and I got married,” Corbett revealed to new host Jerry O’Connell on Tuesday’s episode of “The Talk.”
“I noticed your ring, and I was going to say something, but not on live television, but wow. Congratulations,” O’Connell said.
The “Parenthood” actor, 60, confirmed that this is the first time he or Derek, 64, has shared the news publicly, though their family and close friends have known all along.
“After 20 years, we decided to get married. We didn’t want 2020 to be that thing where everybody looks back and hated it. Let’s get one nice thing out of this.”
