The Coast Guard has a number of roles including maritime homeland security, maritime law enforcement, search and rescue , marine environmental protection, and the maintenance of river, intracoastal and offshore aids to navigation.

"We owe our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines a debt of gratitude, and I thank you all for your service."
