This is my great grand uncle. Unfortunately he passed away in 2000, but the navy is naming a destroyer after him. From what I hear he was a mean poker player.

THE COAST GUARD.
WILL ALWAYS PROTECT THE
NAVY AND THE ARMY..

I did not see that coming. Hooray! As a former Coastie I've always felt that the Coast Guard doesn't get enough credit. There should be a documentary about this.

Several of these shorts have featured Coast Guard members . Well done!

My son is at Cape May right now. My dad was Navy in WWII and Coast Guard during Korea. I am so proud of my Coastie son following in his grandfather’s footsteps. Semper Paratus!

The Coast Guard stands strong as a branch of the USA Military.

[GregaryMathews]

We need heros like this today with intelligence

[TrayTerra]

Every branch, and every service member, are part of the greater whole, doing their part for every part. Everyone.

And ppl wanna talk shit on the Coast Guard huh?? Times like this make me beam with pride to be AMERICAN! 🇺🇸

[michaelcarnes]

The very first i have heard of this. There must be a movie made with this intelligent hero Commander Quentin Walsh from the Coast Guard of places. It could have something to do with rescuing the one of the US ARMY's elite divisions, The 101st Airborne

The USCG. That small nucleus around which the Navy forms in times of war.

My father was a Tech Sgt with the Fightin 79th when we took Cherbourg. His company took 87 percent in casualties.

[gregorygalloway]

With today's new strategies the Coast Guard has taken an accelerated position with not only protecting the United States but advancing forward into international waters if directed so.

[jonrobbin]

My grandfather was a Lieutenant Commander in the Coasties and he was the greatest man I ever knew.
