It appears we may have an active Hurricane season this year. We've been working closely with the Coast Guard Foundation and a few of our Chapters to ensure we're ready and available to respond if needed. A new online Grant application has been established to make things easier for CG members to apply and get help easier after a disaster.

Two Faces of a Patriot
is a unique and powerful ‘what if’ novel that combines adventure, new tech, politics and a bit of a love story to keep you entertained as it presents an impending course of events, created by serious wrongdoings in the past, that must be averted at any cost.
The main story is set primarily in the near-future, at a time when paranoia, control and power have changed virtually everything in American society and social engineering has severely limited nearly every personal freedom.

When Isolated At Home, Reconnect With Old
Service Friends
|
These unprecedented times are contributing to a higher level of anxiety, particularly among our Veteran population. The constant flow of often discouraging news, along with a reduced ability to mingle with others to keep spirits up, makes it difficult for some to maintain their morale.
TogetherWeServed
, a military heritage community website and home to over 1.9 million U.S. Military Veterans, wants to help.
A secure virtual base for Veterans
During a Veteran’s military service, their base, ship or shore station is place to call home – a safe haven to share in the company of some of the finest men and women with a mission in common. Together We Served (TWS) aims to replicate that same spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood in its own “Virtual Base” website.
With its membership containing only active serving and Veterans, TWS provides a secure platform for all Veterans to engage with other Veterans on a level that is simply not possible in most social networking environments.
Family of deceased Coast Guard members who wish to join CGTWS to create a Remembrance Profile for their loved one should email
