They say an image is worth a thousand words; as such I'd like to offer up this photo of the the Coast Guard Commandant, ADM Papp, as an essay of sorts. There haven't been very many pictures of the Admiral since he took the helm in Washington but I guess there doesn't need to be really- he's a busy individual.

This picture is tells a story to me. It tells me that ADM Papp has a lot in his mind; he's serious about his job, his service, his Shipmates. Of particular notice is the look on his face in the midst of taking notes during a hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation this morning; it too clearly shows...

What does it show to you?
