Coast Guard Auxiliary's 70th Anniversary

Shipmates,

On Tuesday we celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. They are a remarkable organization, and I thank them for their outstanding service, as outlined in this message. For the past decade, Coast Guard Auxiliary efforts have accounted for more than 3,100 lives saved, assistance to more than 91,000 boaters in distress, the prevention of the loss of more than $437 million in property and the education of more than 1.6 million boaters through boating safety courses, in addition to the many other services the Auxiliary provides. Coast Guard Auxiliarists accomplished these feats by volunteering more than 36 million hours of their time.
For their service the Coast Guard Auxiliary received a Unit Commendation medal today. National Commodore Nick Kerigan accepted on behalf of these great citizens!

ADM A
