The men and women of today's U.S. Coast Guard patrol our shores, save lives, protect property and enhance the flow of commerce. Everyday, the nation's headlines bear witness to the magnificent works of our Guardsmen, to include activities as diverse as helping victims of natural disaster, stemming the flow of illegal drugs and teaching boating safety. At the same time, our Coast Guard remains uniquely qualified to provide that spectrum of peacetime services which evolve, in time of crisis, into wartime capability. As America's national security requirements continue to evolve, we can be sure that our Coast Guard will play a central role.
The year 2000 also commemorates the 50th anniversary of America's involvement in the Korean war. In that conflict, as it has in every other faced by our country, our U.S. Coast Guard answered the country's call to arms. In the years leading up to World War II, our U.S. Coast Guard advisors helped develop the Korean Coast Guard which, after that war, became the navy of the Republic of Korea. Coast Guard cutters served as weather stations throughout the war providing U.N. ground, naval and air forces with information on weather affecting military operations. In the ultimate sacrifice, five Coast Guardsmen also gave their lives during a rescue of the crew of a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane in the China Sea.
USTRANSCOM'S Coast Guardsmen and women can stand tall and be proud of their great service to our country on this very special day. To your friends in USTRANSCOM, each of you will always epitomize the spirit and strength embodied in your motto, Semper Paratus --- Always Ready. Our sincerest thanks to you for your dedicated and outstanding service.
