Happy Birthday to the Coast Guard!

The U.S. Coast Guard, founded as the Revenue Cutter Service August 4th, 1790.

The Coast Guard has seen combat in every American war since, due to its unique dual mission of enforcing the laws and sovereignty of the United States and aiding mariners in distress.

And the Coast Guard is on the front lines of the War on Terror,
both close to home...

...and abroad.
