The United States Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard represents the United States Coast Guard through ceremonial operations held before world leaders and dignitaries, and to lay to rest with proper military honors, dignity, and respect the remains of fallen shipmates. The Honor Guard performs in over 1100 ceremonies annually.

The Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard was established at the request of President John F. Kennedy in 1962. The Ceremonial Honor Guard is under the direct control of the Military District of Washington and is loaned to the Coast Guard for special events. The Military District of Washington uses the Ceremonial Honor Guard for White House functions, dignitary visits, state funerals and other high-level, official ceremonial events.

The Honor Guard is comprised of 63 members, with a Lieutenant serving as the Officer in Charge, two junior officers serving as Operations Officer and Training Officer, a Chief Petty Officer as the Honor Guard Chief/Chief Master at Arms, and four Petty Officers.

The remaining 55 members of the Honor Guard are "first-tour" non-rates coming directly out of Training Center Cape May. The officers and non-rates serve a two year tour of duty in the Honor Guard, while the Chief Petty Officer and Petty Officers serve four year tours.

On March 5, 1962, Admiral Alfred C. Richmond, Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, established the Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard. The Honor Guard, then located at the United States Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, Md., had 33 original members.

 In order to reduce the logistical problems involved in responding to ceremonial tasking in Washington , the Honor Guard moved its base of operations to Coast Guard Radio Station Washington in 1965. That facility is now known as the Coast Guard Telecommunication and Information Systems Command (TISCOM). TISCOM is located in Alexandria , Va. , and is still home to the Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard.

Some pictures from "today"...


USS Dallas, CGC Dallas leaving Gibraltar (FOR RELEASE)
MEDITERRANEAN SEA - The USS Dallas and the Coast Guard Cutter Dallas leave Gibraltar together Monday, Aug. 11, 2008.
The CGC Dallas, a 378-foot high endurance cutter based in Charleston, S.C., stopped in Gibraltar for maintenance halfway through a four-month deployment on Aug. 1, 2008. During the first half of the deployment, the cutter made stops in Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe, Ghana and Senegal to train and collaborate with the host nations' navies and coast guards in support of the Africa Partnership Station program, an initiative aimed to strengthen maritime safety and security in west and central Africa.
The USS Dallas, a Los Angeles class submarine stationed in Groton, Conn., made a port stop in Gibraltar before heading home at the end of a six-month deployment. Their mission during the deployment was to conduct operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism. (Coast Guard photo/Petty Officer 2nd Class Lauren Jorgensen)

Souda Bay, Greece - Coast Guard personnel load humanitarian assistance supplies aboard the 378-foot Coast Guard Cutter Dallas August 21, 2008. The supplies are destined for the Republic of Georgia following the conflict between Russian and Georgian forces. The assistance will aid in alleviating human suffering in the Republic of Georgia. The Dallas is currently deployed under the command of the U.S. Navy 6th Fleet. U.S. Navy photo/Paul Farley

Oh, my goodness! Hope you’ve started gathering wood for the
stove, so you will be cozy and warm when the snow falls.

It seems crazy to be talking about that, when it’s 79 right
here at my house! Sheesh!
