My pin represents the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard is both a federal law enforcement agency and a military force, and therefore is a faithful protector of the United States in peacetime and war.
I picked this pin because after the Space force, the Coast Guard is the smallest military branch and I feel they need to be appreciated more. My pin is dark blue to represent the water their ships sail in, and the first star represents the American flag. I added my appreciative words and an extra star to represent our honor and loyalty to them.
After research I have learned that The Coast Guard has 41,700 full-time active-duty service members currently working in the Coast Guard, along with 7,800 part-time reservists, 8,300 civilians and 31,000 auxiliary Coast Guard volunteers. The Coast Guard is also the first afloat armed force.
Thank you for your service!
