God bless them.Awesome video of United States Coast Guard lifesaving operations in the middle of a hurricane:

Crazy and Fearless Men
Shall Not Be Questioned points out that:
And the emphasis should be on the word "Men". Nowadays you do find women in the rescue business, but you still don't, as Robert Heinlein pointed out over 40 years ago, read in the newspaper of women risking their lives to attempt to save strangers.
