Talk:Douglas Albert Munro

message: Hey Whats wrong with having the picture of Douglas Munro's actions ?
: I added the painting of the action. It is the only depiction that I have personally seen regarding Munro's exploits or the U.S. Coast Guard from that collection. Tjlynnjr (talk) 08:03, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The painting's original title was "Douglas A. Munro Covers the Withdrawal of the 7th Marines at Guadalcanal" and was painted by artist Bernard D'Andrea for the U.S. Coast Guard Bicentennial Celebration, 1990.

message: PO. Munro was not naturalized, according to the 1930 US census. His parents were both U.S. citizens living abroad, so Munro was a U.S. citizen at birth. Following are some conflicting sources:
*U.S. House of Representatives, Committee on Transportation and Infastructure.
:Fact Sheet HR 2611 – A bill to designate the United States Coast Guard Headquarters the “Douglas A. Munro Coast Guard Headquarters Building”. "Background...He became a U.S. citizen in 1922."  Retrieved: 13 July 2014.
*Canadian Winners (sic) of the United States Medal of Honor. Friends of the Canadian War Museum (FCWM-AMCG)  "...born...in Vancouver, BC, to American parents."  Retrieved: 13 July 2014. 
*USCG Historian's Office says born Vancouver, BC of US parents. Retrieved: 13 July 2014.
*Congressional Record PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 113th CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION Vol. 159 WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, JULY 16, 2013 No. 101 DOUGLAS A. MUNRO COAST GUARD HEADQUARTERS BUILDING H4494-H4495 Source says born in Canada of American parents, no mention of naturalization.
NB: My Google search words Was Douglas Albert Munro a U.S. citizen ?.
Summary. He is a Yank. The USCG Historians site features images of PO Munros official service record. 
The evidence there is clear and detailed. PO Munroe would have had a part in the preparation of the documents. His parents probably reported the birth of a U.S. citizen abroad or words to that effect, at the U.S. Consulate in Vancouver, BC. Finally, there are three ways to do something...the right way...the wrong way...and the Coast Guard way, I personally roll with the Coast Guard way.

message: USCG recruit trainng is modeled on USMC recruit training rather than US Navy Recruit Training. During the 1960's USMC Drill Instructors conducted USCG Recruit Training. Because of Douglas A. Munro's actions, a representative of the Commandant USMC attends the graduation of every USCG Recruit Training Class.

message: During WW II the first three rates in the Navy were seaman 3rd class, seaman 2nd class, and seaman first class.  I'm pretty sure this held for the Coast Guard, too, so perhaps they should be changed here....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.184.247 (talk) 17:30, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
