D Day Plus 75

As we take a moment to remember, reflect upon and pay homage to the Survivors of the Greatest Generation who 75 years ago gave of themselves and in too many people instances gave themselves in the fight against tyranny, hatred, nazism and imperialism let us not only honor them and their sacrifices but all those who have served before them and since them. Their service and answer to the call in every conflict served in in the hopes to make a society free, keep a nation safe and to safeguard our freedoms here and abroad is no small measure. To all of you who have, and continue to don a uniform, I, my staff and a grateful nation thank you!

Commandant’s Message

Greetings USCGA Admissions Partners,

Below is a response from the Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Schultz, regarding the recent arrest of a Coast Guard Lieutenant at D.C. Headquarters.


To the Men and Women of the United States Coast Guard,

As has been reported, an active-duty Coast Guard member stationed at Headquarters was arrested last Friday on drug and weapons charges. The ongoing investigation also revealed correspondence attributed to him that promoted extremist views and discussed potentially committing violent acts. The proactive efforts and professionalism of the Coast Guard Investigative Service, the Coast Guard Counterintelligence Service, and FBI prevented a potentially dangerous situation from escalating.

Extremism, hate, bigotry, and advocacy of violence have no place in our Service. Any individual espousing these behaviors and failing to live by the Coast Guard's Core Values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty will be held accountable. Through combined vigilance, we will do everything in our power to ensure our Coast Guard is the safest possible environment. We owe nothing less to ourselves and our Nation.

Semper Paratus,
Admiral Karl Schultz
Commandant
