@SecMullinDHS @DHSgov @USCG Thank you for highlighting the great work of Coast Guard Culinary Specialists!

[Secretary Markwayne Mullin @SecMullinDHS]

Welcome to one of the hidden gems at @DHSgov’s HQ: the Executive Dining Facility.

Chef Zach, Paul, and all the @USCG culinary team inside the facility are cooking up some delicious meals — including my personal favorite, the Executive burger.

A farewell for a hero.

Yesterday, we gathered to honor the life and sacrifice of Aviation Survival Technician 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers. We remember not only his final act of courage, but his dedication as a mentor, leader, son and partner. A recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, Jaggers’ commitment to his crew and selfless service will forever inspire us. While we mourn his passing, his legacy lives on in the lives he saved and the sacred trust he fulfilled – so others may live.

#IngallsShipbuilding Christening of #NSC9 speaker, @USCG Vice Commandant Charles Ray @VComdtUSCG thanks the shipbuilders for their dedication. He says, “You can tell these shipbuilders know they aren’t just building ‘a ship,’ they are building a COAST GUARD CUTTER.”

I'm glad we were able to swing by, if ever so briefly, to the Armed Forces Retirement Home this afternoon!

I’m honored to be recognized by my home state as I was inducted into the Michigan Military Veteran Hall of Honor on Friday, May 17th.

[Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard @ComdtUSCG]

With this memorial, the names & legacy of over 1,700 @USCG enlisted members who paid the ultimate price will be forever woven into the fabric of Coast Guard history.

Tonight I brought Master Chief Petty Officer Jason Vanderhaden as my guest to the #SOTU. MCPO Vanderhaden is the highest-ranking enlisted officer in the Coast Guard and represents the thousands of brave men and women who protect our nation’s waterways.

Recruits often find chowtime @USCG Training Center Cape May to be a nice relaxing environment, full of learning opportunities. I stopped in for a visit with our newest recruits and some seriously motivating lunch! #SemperParatus #TransformationTuesday #USCG #TRACENCapeMay

“I can't thank you & your crew enough for saving my son. If your crew had not continued to work without pay, I wouldn't have a son tonight!” - Kim Rasmussen, grateful parent.

This is why we stand the watch. Now, more than ever, America needs you

[The Joint Staff 🇺🇸 @thejointstaff]

#GenDunford: As @USCG Cutter Bertholf deploys to the #IndoPacific this week we salute all our Coast Guard Shipmates who continue to stand the watch & protect our national security interests alongside our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen & Marines around the 🌎#SemperParatus #ArmedForces

[Office of the Chief of Naval Operations @USNavyCNO]

All Sailors share a deep bond regardless of the uniform they wear. Whether you're in the @USNavy or one of the 41,000 U.S. Coast Guard @USCG Sailors, you know what it means to protect from the sea.

[Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard @ComdtUSCG]

Your Coast Guard leadership team & the American people stand in awe of your continued dedication to duty, resilience, & that of your families. I find it unacceptable that @USCG members must rely on food pantries & donations to get through day-to-day life. #uscg

[Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen @SecNielsen]

Like the other branches of the U.S. military, active duty @USCG should be paid for their service and sacrifice to this nation. I’m working with the @WhiteHouse and Congress to pass legislation to fund the @USCG now.

[Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen @SecNielsen]

Thank you @USCG for admirably serving your nation. America is safer and more secure thanks to your commitment, hard work and dedication. I am honored to serve as your Service Secretary as you protect the homeland and execute vital missions as part of America’s Armed Forces.
