It was an honor to join over 300 of our #USCG members in NYC for the #VeteransDay Parade, where this year, the USCG was the featured service. To all those who came before me, to those who I’ve had the honor to serve with, thank you. Semper Paratus! 🇺🇸
On behalf of the @USCG, Happy 75th Birthday to the @usairforce! For 75 years, the #USAF has remained committed to fly, fight, and win in defense of our Nation. I’m proud to serve alongside the world’s greatest Air Force. Semper Paratus! #AF75
Let us honor & remember those we lost & 1st responders & individuals who came together to save others on that fateful day; including USCGR MK1 Jeff Palazzo PS2 Vincent Danz, & AUX Gregory Sikorsky, (FDNY & NYPD), & LCDR Gilbert Granados, who was working in the WTC #NeverForget🇺🇸
(4/4) As time marches on, there are fewer U.S. Coast Guard Veterans who served in WWII, who are still living. We owe an incredible debt of gratitude to these women and men for their sacrifice and service to the nation, and it is our duty to ensure their legacy lives on.🇺🇸 #WWII
(🧵1/4) Gunnersmate 3rd Class Frank DeVita, a Higgins boat crewmember, was tasked with delivering thousands of troops to the beaches of Normandy. At the young age of 18, Frank witnessed first-hand the tragedies and heroism of war.
#DDay
(3/4) Earlier this year, Frank DeVita died at the age of 96. Before he died, Frank made it his mission to travel back to Normandy & across the U.S., speaking at schools, including the @USCGAcademy, “so the men in the cemetery would never be forgotten”.
#Normandy#ShareTheirStory
Let us not have only one single day when we honor and pay tribute to those women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their life to safeguard and preserve the very liberties and freedoms we hold so dear.🇺🇸
#ShareTheirStory#InTheirHonor
Today, I was joined by our #USCG#OAL Carol Jones, & Vice Adm. Steven Poulin, in attending the Memorial Day observance to honor our fallen service members, @ArlingtonNatl. It is our duty to ensure we never forget their sacrifices for our freedom and liberties. 🇺🇸 #ShareTheirStory

I was honored to get underway w/ them on the Delaware River & witness the superb work of this remarkable team!
Bravo Zulu! ⚓
Thank you USCGC William Tate! This incredible crew let me help in buoy tending & even had me swinging a sledgehammer, hearkening back to my Red Oak days!
This is demanding, dangerous work - the crew was magnificent. SO PROUD & HONORED to meet you & recognize your excellence!
