Today, we celebrate 236 years of unwavering service to our Nation from the United States Coast Guard has stood the watch—safeguarding our shores, ensuring the secure flow of commerce, and answering the call whenever duty demands. Boston holds a proud place in this history as the birthplace of the Coast Guard; it was right here in 1790 that the very first revenue cutter, the Massachusetts, was authorized and built. From the historic grounds of Hartt’s Shipyard at modern-day USCG Sector Boston to the crews patrolling our icy waters, generations of Coast Guard men and women have carried forward a legacy of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. Happy 236th Birthday to the United States Coast Guard, and thank you to the total workforce, families, and veterans who keep us Semper Paratus!
