The Coast Guard is celebrating its 223rd year this August 4th.

Snip:
The Coast Guard is one of the oldest organizations of the federal government and until Congress established the Navy Department in 1798 they served as the nation's only armed force afloat. The Coast Guard protected the nation throughout their long history and served proudly in every one of the nation's conflicts. Our national defense responsibilities remain one of our most important functions even today.
