Thank you for protecting our coastal waterways. Thank you for rescuing us when we are in need. Thank you for all that you do to keep us safe.

235 years of service. The US Coast Guard!

The Coast Guard was established as the Revenue-Marine, Aug. 4, 1790, when President George Washington signed a bill drafted by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, authorizing the construction of 10 cutters that would be part of the Treasury Department.
