As I’ve said many times in the past, Mount Horeb has such a rich history of service to our great country. This past week I contacted a friend and Coast Guard Veteran, Andy Burkart. Andy is a Coast Guard Veteran and asked if we could publish an article about the Coast Guard Birthday, so here is the note from Andy.

“A few weeks ago, I was speaking to a group of Army Veterans. When I mentioned that I was a Coast Guard Veteran one of them gave me a funny look. He then said I have never seen one of you before, wow you really exist! I guess we you have been part of the smallest of America’s Military Services that is bound to happen.

On August 4th, we celebrate the founding of the Coast Guard in 1790. In addition to being our country’s oldest Maritime Defender(continuous) they are truly the “Swiss Army Knife” of our Nation.

The nearly 42,000 active serving members of the Coast Guard protect and defend 100,000 miles of US Coastline and Inland Waterways. They perform 11 official missions including: Port and Waterway Security, Drug Interdiction, Aids to Navigation, Search and Rescue, Living Marine Resources, Marine Safety, Defense Readiness, Migrant Interdiction, Marine Environmental Protection, ICE Operations and Law Enforcement.
