Fourth of July Message

Shipmates,

As the day draws to a close and we return from barbecues, beach ventures, visits with friends and family and a few of us, from work, lets take one brief moment to remember and honor our founding fathers and all those who have passed before their time in service to this great nation and remember those that stand and have stood a taut watch.

As freedom is not free, nor is it without sacrifice, let us honor our men and women of our armed forces here and abroad and to all those in service of our protection, freedom and security. Most of all though, a Bravo Zulu to you all, our Nation's volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard... Thank you for all the work that you do!

I hope that you all have had a Happy and Safe Fourth of July!
