COAST GUARD FAMILIES packed the house for a complimentary meal at Clare & Don’s Beach Shack. The local restaurant served about 50 families and 150 people total who, as the only military branch currently not being paid due to the ongoing shutdown of the federal government, were looking for a pick-me-up.
