2016: Ringing in the New Year with rhyme
On New Year’s Eve the midnight log entry at a Coast Guard unit takes on a life of its own and is traditionally written as a poem. Coast Guard Compass reached out to those standing the watch to share the tradition of applying verse to the ship’s log as we all rung in 2016.
Time out from training
Taking time from a busy Tailored Ships Training Assessment event in Honolulu, Hawaii, crew members of Coast Guard Cutter Munro recently supported the 2014 Hawaii Special Olympics Summer Games held at the University of Hawaii.
The Coast Guard on canvas: 2014 Art Program
The dedication and character of the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard provide inspiration for many across the nation. Some of the most inspired are Coast Guard artists who belong to the Coast Guard Art Program. Whether sculptor or painter, these select artists create works of art that tell the story of the service’s missions, heroes and history. This week, the Coast Guard Art Program will hold its inaugural exhibition of the 2014 collection at the Salmagundi Club in New York City. Today, we feature three members of the Coast Guard Art Program who have been inspired by the Coast Guard’s missions and people: James Consor, Tyson Snow and Karen Loew.
