Originally uploaded by uscgpress

The Coast Guard was uniquely honored today to have the initials of First Lady Michelle Obama welded into the keel of National Security Cutter #3, the future USCGC Stratton. This is the first time a first lady has ever sponsored a Coast Guard cutter. As the sponsor the first lady will be involved in the life of the cutter, representing an extension of her commitment to supporting America's men and women in uniform and their families.
