87 years ago today, Congress established the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, a civilian volunteer force authorized to support nearly every non-military Coast Guard mission. It launched in 1939 and has not stopped serving since.

The Auxiliary patrols U.S. waterways, conducts safety inspections, assists in search and rescue, and provides public education on boating safety. Its members volunteer their time, their vessels, and often their personal resources to keep our waters safer.

According to official Coast Guard data, Auxiliarists save an average of 500 lives every year and assist with the safety of millions more. That is the impact of volunteer service done right.

To every father in this association: today is for you.

The fathers in our ranks balance two demanding jobs every single day. The one they wear a uniform for, and the one waiting for them at home. They miss school plays, birthday dinners, and bedtime stories more often than most people realize. They do it because that is the job. And they show up at home anyway because that is the kind of father they choose to be.

There are an estimated 70 million dads in this country. The ones in this profession are a small but exceptional slice of that number.

Today our association honors them, and the families who carry them through.

Comment below with a father in your life who deserves to be recognized today.

Halfway through 2026, and we want to take a moment to acknowledge the community that makes this work possible.

This association exists to stand behind our members and the families connected to them. Whether the day brings good news or hard news, our job is to be there. That has not changed in six months. It will not change in the next six.

The second half of the year typically brings the highest demand for everything we do. We are ready for it, and we are grateful for the community standing with us going in.

There are a few dates in American history that should never need an explanation. June 6, 1944 is one of them.

Operation Overlord, better known as D-Day, marked the start of the Allied liberation of Western Europe. American troops landed at Utah and Omaha beaches alongside British and Canadian forces. The fighting in that single day was brutal beyond description, and by nightfall, more than 4,400 Allied soldiers had been killed.

82 years later, the words "the greatest generation" still come up because of what happened that day and the days that followed. Many veterans who serve in our community now stand on that same legacy.

This association does not let June 6 pass quietly. We never will.

Today is Memorial Day. Not a long weekend. Not a sale. A day set aside to remember the men and women who gave everything.

The roots of this holiday go back to May 1868, when General John A. Logan issued a proclamation designating May 30 as a day to decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War. What began as flowers placed on graves eventually grew into a national observance honoring every American service member lost in every conflict this country has ever fought. More than 1.3 million Americans have died in military service throughout the nation's history.

Our members are working today, as they do on every holiday, keeping this community safe while families gather to remember. We do not take that lightly on any day, but especially not this one.

Share this post to make sure the original meaning of this day reaches your entire network.

Today is Peace Officer Memorial Day, and our association is pausing to honor it the right way.

On October 1, 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Public Law 87-726, officially designating May 15 as the day this nation recognizes law enforcement personnel killed or disabled in the line of duty. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, an average of 150 to 160 law enforcement professionals are killed in the line of duty every year in the United States.

In observance of this day, we are running a fundraising drive. Financial stability for surviving families is not a bonus. It is a responsibility we take seriously.

Some losses are too large to fully comprehend. Today is Children of Fallen Patriots Day, and it asks us to sit with one of those losses for a moment.

An estimated 25,000 children have lost a parent in military service over the last 35 years. May 13 was selected as the observance date because it marks the establishment of Arlington National Cemetery in 1864, a permanent reminder of what military service can cost. The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation has awarded over 82 million dollars in scholarships to more than 4,000 of these children since 2002.

Our association understands what it means to lose someone in the line of duty. We stand with these families today and encourage our community to do the same.

This is National Police Week, and we want to make sure it means more than a hashtag.

National Police Week 2026 runs from May 11 through May 17, featuring memorial ceremonies, survivor-focused events, honor guard tributes, and community gatherings across Washington D.C

The professionals our association represents are the people who answer the call when you cannot. They miss birthdays, holidays, and milestones because the job does not stop for any of it. The ones we are honoring this week did not get to come home, and the families they left behind carry that every single day.

This week is for them. It is also for every member out on shift right now who continues their work.

If you have a first responder in your life, tell them this week you see what they do.

Share this post and help us make sure National Police Week reaches every community that needs to hear it.

Today is Mother's Day, and we want to take a moment to actually mean it.

Anna Jarvis, who campaigned for the holiday's creation, later spent years fighting to keep it from becoming too commercialized. By the 1920s she was publicly critical of the greeting card industry and even called for the holiday to be removed from the national calendar. She believed it was meant to be a personal, sincere expression, not a commercial event. It is a reminder that the original intent was simple: stop and recognize the people who give more than they are given credit for.

Our members working shifts today are serving this community while missing time with their own families. That sacrifice is worth acknowledging today just as much as everything else.

Comment below and recognize a mother in your life who makes this work possible.

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day to every husband and wife holding down the home front.

The numbers tell part of the story. There are approximately one million active duty and reserve military spouses in this country managing households, careers, and families alongside the reality of deployment. Studies show that military spouses relocate on average every two to three years, making career stability one of the most persistent challenges they face.

Members of this association who serve in reserve components rely on that support every single day. Their spouses deserve the same recognition we give to the members themselves.

Tag a military spouse in the comments today so we can acknowledge them directly.
