Go Coast Guard!

A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was able to save the life of a person who was stranded in the Atlantic off the coast of Massachusetts as a powerful and deadly nor’easter raged across New England on Monday.

Did you know that 87% of drowning victims were not wearing a life jacket?

Life jackets are not only stylish but also are a great lifesaving and vital piece of equipment on your vessel. Don't just have it...wear it.

Happy 235th Birthday to the United States Coast Guard!

As proud members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, we are honored to support the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard who stand the watch — safeguarding our nation's shores, safeguarding our waterways, and defending our national interests at home and abroad.

Their bravery and selfless service inspire us everyday.

Here’s to 235 years of being Semper Paratus — and to many more.

Happy 4th of July! Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish. The men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard remain on watch across our borders, where defense of America begins. As the nation's finest maritime fighting force, we are applying our full range of capabilities to control, secure, and defend our borders and maritime approaches. We continue operations to facilitate commerce vital to economic security and strategic mobility, safeguarding a Marine Transportation System that is instrumental in restoring U.S. maritime dominance.

As an Armed Service, we are proud to stand alongside our fellow servicemembers, and extend our gratitude to all who have dedicated their lives to defending our nation. Your service and sacrifice make our freedom possible.

This holiday, please remember to celebrate responsibly and stay safe on the water.

From the U.S. Coast Guard, have a safe and happy Independence Day!

As you enjoy fireworks, friends, and lake time this weekend, don’t forget—fun is better when it’s safe.

🛟 Wear your life jacket
⚓ Know who has the right of way
📘 And remember: If you were born after Sept 1, 1993, you MUST have your Texas Boater Education Certificate to legally operate a boat or jet ski.

Let’s keep the lake full of good memories—not emergencies.

💙 From all of us at USCG Auxiliary Flotilla 5-14—have a joyful, safe Independence Day!
