Happy Birthday to the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary!

Today we celebrate the proud legacy of service, safety, and dedication that began June 23, 1939, when Congress created the Coast Guard Reserve, a volunteer force of civilian boaters committed to keeping America’s waterways safe.

In 1941, the name changed to the Coast Guard Auxiliary, marking the birth of the organization we honor today.

Throughout World War II, more than 50,000 volunteers stepped up to patrol our coasts, guard our ports, and rescue downed pilots. Their courage and commitment set the foundation for generations to follow.

From post‑war years to the present, the Auxiliary has remained a steadfast force for:

Public boating safety education
Environmental protection
Disaster relief and community support

Thank you to all past and present Auxiliarists whose service continues to protect lives and strengthen our nation.

Today, three Americans join a group of fewer than 4,000 Medal of Honor Recipients.

Major James Capers, Jr., Colonel John Ripley, and Major Nicholas Dockery each answered a moment of extraordinary challenge with extraordinary action in service to others. Though separated by generations and different conflicts, their actions reflect the values of courage, commitment, and service that continue to inspire our nation.

We are honored to preserve and share their stories so future generations can learn from their example and recognize the potential for the extraordinary that exists within us all.
