“Our beloved Coast Guard Cutter #GrandIsle will be decommissioned tomorrow.
July – September 1996: GI received a CG Unit Commendation for participating in the response to the Trans World Airlines Flight 800 Crash. The plane was on its way to Paris from New York and experienced an explosion 16NM off the coast of Moriches Harbor.”

Thank you Paul for the heads up on the Grand Isle
