Welcome
The US Navy Memorial welcomes you to the Year of the Coast Guard! As our nation's fifth armed service, the Coast Guard protects those on the sea, protects the nation from threats delivered by the sea, and protects the sea itself. The Coast Guard is our nation's maritime first responder.
Since 1790, the Coast Guard has been standing the watch and protecting America's interests. Today, 42,000 active duty members work alongside thousands of reservists, civilians, and volunteer Auxiliarists to respond to threats and emergencies on and by the water. The Coast Guard's distinctive blend of capabilities and experience make it one of our nation's greatest maritime assets. |
