Today is the 219th anniversary of the founding of the United States Coast Guard.
United States Coast Guard
Guardian Ethos
I am Americas Maritime Guardian.
I serve the citizens of the United States.
I will protect them.
I will defend them.
I will save them.
I am their Shield.
For them I am Semper Paratus.
I live the Coast Guard Core Values.
I am a Guardian.
We are the United States Coast Guard.
