Stories of Service | Molly Waters

"Molly was my Northern Star."
Her sister, LCDR Jennette Greene, proudly followed in Commander Molly Water's footsteps serving in U.S. Coast Guard. She was there to say good-bye during Molly's final moments after a tragic accident. She was on the Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw as Our hero was laid to rest in Lake Huron. And she helped make it possible for Molly's legacy to live on, literally, as an organ donor for the family of a fellow Coastie. This is the story of many serving all, for the greater good.

I served with Molly in Cleveland. She was a solid leader and well respected by her crew. They even called her “The Old Man”, that says a lot about her as a leader and a CO. RIP Commander Waters.

[@nickconkright3713]

I served with her on the Mackinaw, she would come out to the quarterdeck in the morning and say "how the hell ya doing?" Such a warm greating....and she could drive a ship with the best of them

It’s no coincidence that Molly & the kidney recipient were a match, RIP I e completely fallen in love with these honor walks

I am so very thankful for our women and men in the military. Beautiful tribute being an organ donater. She gave her life so someone else could live.

God bless Molly , her family , shipmates and the Coast Guard ! , Who saved my life and the lives of two other crewmembers off the F/V "PETREL", which was lost 75 N. miles out to sea at night in a storm after the boat was destroyed after a flash back from a stack fire ! 6 N. miles S.E. of Santa Barbara Island on the 21st. Of May 1977 , this was my first job out of the Navy ,we hung onto a 5'X5' foot hatch cover without survival suit's until we where picked up by a USCG 52-A chopper, your service has saved countless lives including ours , thank you , and GOD BLESS !

Tragedy That Brought Triumph To Recepient of Kidney. Heartbreaking Yet Heartwarming. Commander Molly Your Gift Of Life Lives On. RIP Commander..

[@ohiostatenomad4893]

Thank you Commander, for your dedicated service and blessings of the Gift of Life to those in need. After watching Molly's story, and witnessing her beautiful Honor Walk..I am going to change my driver's license. I want to be an organ donor. Thank you, for emotionally moving and inspiring a stranger

Nearly half a century ago our RE teacher was off ill and the art teacher filled in. The lesson was based on 'Love Thy Neighbour'. Mainly because of my relationship with my brother the words he said that day have always stayed with me: “You don't have to like someone to love them, love starts with respect." I'm sure Molly will always be at her sister's side and any falling out they may have had have long been forgotten.

[@IreneArcher-yt1kr]

Thank You for the Last Chapter in Molly Walters Amazing Life. Plus the Start of Renewed Energy for all those to Receive her Blessings. ❤️🏍️.

[@longtabsigo]

Wow, so very powerful, well done. God Bless, Fair Winds and Calm Seas. From the Army, well done, rest easy, we have this now.

[@longtabsigo]

I only wish there had been more photos of Molly

[@annettespencer8154]

How can any human put thumbs down to this story I hope nothing like this happens to a member of your family and I am from Australia

[@voraciousreader3341]

So sad there was such division between the sisters....what a burden for their mother to have to bear, keeping their lives separate the way she was forced to do. Hardness of heart has nothing to do with hardness of resolve, or respect. I’m glad for her sake that one sister had the guts to try to heal the breach before the other died. Sad.

[@IreneArcher-yt1kr]

Someone was looking out for their family to try and heal a rift, then Disaster strikes so soon after their Meeting. R.I.P. Molly Walters.

[@northernlitez1]

[@macycharmin]

Moving story, beautiful ceremony. Molly rests in eternal peace, but so valiantly in others. Sincere condolences to her family.

[@pauldg837]

How very sad and yet touching. Rest in peace Molly and may your family find comfort that you gave life to others in your final act of service in your life. I'm sure you will never be forgotten. God be with you.

[@goonertrooper]

Absolutely heartbreaking that a young woman and beautiful soul was taken away too soon. Made me cry watching this. My uncle was in the coast guard and passed last year we miss him every day! Your family is courageous and strong.

[@aaronlewis2150]

cause people in general are not good. and now more than ever people hate anything good that someone does because they would rather put down someone to make themselves feel better about themselves because they cant stand anyone that reminds them of what garbage they are
