As a proud Coast Guard City, we join communities across the country in celebrating the 236th Birthday of the United States Coast Guard on August 4th. 

From search and rescue missions to maritime safety and environmental protection, Coast Guard personnel are an essential part of life along our coast. We are grateful for their dedication and proud to support those who serve.
