I was in the USCGR from 1991 - 1999. Those were such wonderful times and I truly miss them. I worked with amazing people that I would not have met in "civilian life". I am proud of my service and even more proud of my shipmates. These men and women are true professionals. Semper Paratus.

Proud as all hell Coast Guard veteran here. I’m a firefighter/ paramedic today because of the skills I gained from the Coast Guard. Semper Paratus forever!

I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to men and women of the Coast Guard for all you do to protect and serve our nation.

Cool video. They are called "Coastguardsmen" (regardless of gender). Also, the plural of aircraft is aircraft.

The USCG has a special place jn my heart. My dad served in the Coast Guard for more than 20 years. We lived in Honolulu, Portsmouth, Elizabeth City. I remember some of his cutters and a icebreaker: Chautauqua, Ingham, Westwind. RIP dad.

She says 3 heavy Icebreakers really only 1 as the Polar Sea was decommissioned in 2010 The Polar Star is the only Heavy based in Seattle. The Healy is classified as medium icebreaker and is being rebuilt as it caught fire in Alaska in August 2010 and is also based in Seattle.

The US Coast Guard rocks Semper Paratus! 🇺🇸

[kylord]

For those wondering what Semper Paratus means, it's Latin for 'Always Ready'. You're welcome.

I served on the USCGC Polar Star (WAGB-10) 1991-1992. We were supposed to hit all Seven Seas on that cruise, but one of the shafts broke and we had to go back. We were 50 miles from the Geographic North Pole when it happened. I was pissed. I wanted to get my anchor tattoo for visiting all of the seas. I remember we had a NOAA crew onboard as well.

My father was in a Coastie in WWII. First assignment, North Atlantic patrol in the winter time in an illegal "Q ship." Per the Geneva Convention. It looked like a tanker, but it was equipped to blow subs out of the water. Then, off to the Phillipines on an attack transport carrier. He would have been involved in the invasion of Japan.

I wanted to join the Coast Guard, but the VN War was going on and the line was long to join, since Coasties did not go to VN.

I really miss my time in the Coast guard

[vicbanks]

You didn't deliver on said 'inside US...Icebreaker'...where's that??

[DeKrampus]

Ah yes....The Big Red Tub of Fun! Good times....Good times.

[azstumbler]

It'll be nice to have the narration matching up with the video being shown. I do not think Building 10 is the Healy, coasties from th 70s will know what I am referring to :)
