Veterans Day Celebration

Coast Guard:  The Coast Guard was formed from the merger of the Revenue Cutter Service and the U.S Life-Saving Service on January 28th 1915, as an organization under the U.S Department of the Treasury.  The Coast Guard has been involved in every war from 1790 up to the Iraq war and is even involved in Afghanistan. Their mission is to administer the various bridge statutes,  environmental laws of the United States, pertinent regulations and polices in a timely, courteous, responsive and professional manner. This mission will contribute to the development of a safer, more efficient and convenient marine and land transportation system that will effectively utilize and conserve the nation's resources in a cost efficient manner, while providing for the well being, general safety, security, and interests of the citizens of the United States. Their motto is semper paratus, meaning always ready.
