Department of Military Readiness: Coast Guard
On this day in 1790, the U.S. Coast Guard was created by Congress, which authorized Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton to build a small fleet of ten cutters to protect the coast. The Coast Guard continues to serve a critical role under the Department of Homeland Security and we at The Patriot offer our thanks for a job well done. Happy Birthday and Semper Paratus!
Thank you, Tonk!
