[MilCom] USCG Sector Hampton Roads 800 number for marine emergency

[Greg Brazil]

Did not the Coast Guard just spend millions on Rescue 21 for complete 
coverage with RDF capabilities and now they want you to call an toll 
free number.  And yes I know it is not 100% installed yet throughout the 
country.
Here is the schedule and Hampton Roads is complete.
