On June 6, 1944, the U.S. Coast Guard helped change the course of history.

While many remember the soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy, fewer know that approximately 800 Coast Guardsmen were among them. Coast Guard crews piloted landing craft through enemy fire, delivered Allied troops to Omaha and Utah Beaches, evacuated wounded servicemembers, and performed countless acts of courage under some of the most dangerous conditions imaginable.

Fifteen Coast Guardsmen made the ultimate sacrifice on D-Day. Their service is a reminder that the Coast Guard’s legacy extends far beyond our nation’s shores. From the beaches of Normandy to today’s missions around the globe, Coast Guardsmen have always answered the call when it mattered most.

Today, we remember those who served, those who sacrificed, and those who never came home.

Big things are happening for the Coast Guard.

This afternoon marks the ribbon cutting for the new Training Center Birmingham, another investment in the future of our service. Combined with the recent investment of improvements at Training Center Cape May, it's a reminder that the Coast Guard is continuing to grow, modernize, and invest in the people who carry out the mission every day.

A larger, stronger training enterprise means a stronger Coast Guard for the years ahead.

On May 29, the Coast Guard released details of a dramatic rescue that took place near Santa Cruz, California. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Air Station San Francisco responded after three people became trapped inside a coastal cave with no safe route back to shore. With rising surf and steep terrain eliminating conventional rescue options, the aircrew executed a precision hoist operation to recover all three individuals safely.

BZ To the crews involved!

Liberty is calling. How are you answering?

One of the best parts of this community is seeing Coasties and veterans spread across the country living life after the watch.

If you know… you know.

The Cape May Crud Challenge Coin is for every Coastie who survived the legendary sickness that swept through the squad bay, wrecked your voice, and somehow still had you marching to chow.

It’s more than a coin. It’s proof you made it through the coughs, the sleepless nights, the cold racks, and the chaos of recruit training at Cape May.

A little pain. A lot of memories. A badge of honor.

Check it out under our Latest Designs or Cape May Crud Collection.

Today, we remember the men and women who never made it home.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a reminder that freedom, family barbecues, days on the water, and quiet moments with the people we love all came at a cost paid by others.

To those who gave everything in service to this country, we remember you.

To the families who carry that sacrifice every day, we honor you.

Today we recognize the men and women currently serving across every branch of the military.

Different uniforms. Different missions. Same commitment to something bigger than themselves.

To everyone standing the watch today, thank you.

30,000 strong.

What started as a small Coast Guard lifestyle brand has grown into a community of over 30,000 people who understand the long duty days, missed holidays, midnight watches, station stories, deployments, and pride that comes with this life.

From active duty to reserve, retired to family members, the Auxiliary, thank you for following along and helping build something bigger than just apparel.

Because of this community, we’ve been able to support Coast Guard organizations, partner with incredible people across the service, travel to events around the country, and tell Coast Guard stories that deserve to be seen.

The Coast Guard may be the smallest branch, but this community continues to prove how strong and connected it really is.

Thank you for being part of the crew. We’re just getting started. ⚓️

Things I weirdly miss about the Coast Guard…

Standing watch exhausted.
Coffee that somehow tasted amazing at 2am.
Getting underway before sunrise.
Laughing through absolute chaos.
Hearing flight ops overhead from time to time.
And honestly… having a crew that felt like family.

Funny how the things you couldn’t wait to escape can become the things you miss most.

What’s the one thing you miss when you got out?

Some partnerships mean more when you see the people behind them.

Getting to spend time with the crew behind the Coast Guard Aviation Workout to Remember, , was a reminder of what makes the Coast Guard community special. What started in remembrance of our fallen aviators has grown into something that continues to honor their legacy and give back through the

Proud that Puddle Pirate has been able to support their mission over the years. Semper Paratus. ⚓️
