I am also a proud parent of a USCGA Swab Class of 2014!! I remember passing by the Academy on my frequent trips to New England and thought, “What a cool place!” I can’t believe my daughter is now there. What a great service, what a great mission!!!
God bless all these young men and women…the best of the best!

I am a proud parent of a USCGA SWAB (first year Cadet)! The heroes of the world are often not thought of until we personally need them. My daughter is entering into the proud tradition of service.

It’s been an honor to have worked on an annual publication for the Coast Guard for the past several years. When you consider that this is an organization smaller in manpower than the NYPD, and then look at what it achieves year after year in lives saved, protection of natural resources, national defense, homeland security, and other missions, you are absolutely right that no service can claim a bigger “bang per buck.”

I have often said the American tax payer gets more bang for his/her dollar from the United States Coast Guard than any other branch of government. We used to have an old saying in the Coast Guard ” if we can’t buy it , we will make it, and if we can’t make it, then we will learn to do the job without it. I have always been very proud to have been a part of this great organization, and am still proud of the men and women whoserve our country as United Sates Coast Guardsmen.
