Coast Guard helicopter hoists aren’t limited to the water. Crews also rescue people in hard-to-reach places, including mountains.

Like water rescues, these missions take careful coordination and precision to bring people to safety.

Yesterday, we asked you to share your Coast Guard “why.” Today, we want to share ours.

For 236 years, the Coast Guard has protected our Nation’s coasts and the lives that surround them, risking their own safety and giving their time and effort to serve others. We want to give back.

That’s why the National Coast Guard Museum will be a place to honor and remember the Coast Guard. It will be a place to preserve hundreds of years of service. It will be a place to inspire the next generation.

That’s our “why.”

We want to hear from YOU! What’s your “why” for supporting the Coast Guard? Did you serve? Did someone in your family? Or has the Coast Guard made a difference in your life?

At the National Coast Guard Museum, we’re proud to preserve stories of service, including yours. This is YOUR Museum, and your support helps make it possible.
Share your “why” in the comments below!

Coast Guard readiness goes beyond physical training. It also means making sure crews have equipment that works when they need it.

Pictured here, Coast Guardsmen conduct drysuit leak testing to check for punctures and ensure the suits keep cold water out. These suits help protect crews during operations in extremely cold water.

Keeping Coast Guardsmen properly equipped helps them carry out their missions and protect others. Opening August 4, 2027, the National Coast Guard Museum will honor this commitment to safety and service through stories, artifacts, and exhibits.

Our four-legged friends are protected by the Coast Guard, too! 🐾

The rescue pictured took place during a storm in Texas in 2017, when the Coast Guard saved more than 50 animals in the area!

Thank you to the Coast Guard for helping keep people and animals safe along our coasts and beyond.
