THE DAY IN HISTORY:
On August 2, 1990, Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait. The United States and 35 nations led a military campaign (Operation Desert Storm) beginning in January 1991 to repel Iraqi forces and restore the sovereignty of Kuwait. The U.S. intervened because Iraq's unlawful invasion and annexation of its neighbor, protect crucial global oil supplies, and prevent Saddam Hussein from dominating the Middle East.
On August 4, 1790 Coast Guard will celebrate its 236th birthday. Did you know, while a branch of the military, the Coast Guard operates under the Department of Homeland Security during peacetime. In times of war, it can be transferred to be under the Department of the Navy?
