Wow, 221 years! It is hard to imagine being around that long, but yes, the United States Coast Guard has been in existence since August 4, 1790.
My birthday wish for the Coast Guard is that the people of the United States remember the sacrifices that are made by all to ensure that the duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Coast Guard and their members are fulfilled. That our communities continue to support the active duty members and their families, making them feel welcome and part of the community. And that fellow Coasties and their families reach out to their communities, volunteering where they can, and becoming part of the community even if for a brief time, as everyone gains from the experience.
