Organizational heritage can often be found in the symbols and icons that
evolve within the organization throughout its history. The Coast Guard
is no exception; in fact, many of the Coast Guard symbols tell of general
naval traditions as well as the Coast Guard’s unique heritage.
• National ensign
• Coast Guard flag
• Union Jack
• Coast Guard seal, emblem, and shield
• Coast Guard ensign
• Coast Guard battle streamers
• Commissioning pennant
• Coast Guard slash (racing stripe).
A national ensign is the national flag flown to represent a national
government. The national flag of the United States is commonly referred
to as the Stars and Stripes. The U.S. flag, along with the flags of
countries whose governments we formally recognize (provided we are
not at war with that country), are to be treated with respect.
The U.S. national flag is called:
• Ensign when displayed on a vessel or facility
• Colors when carried by foot
• Standard when displayed on a vehicle or aircraft.
The Coast Guard authorizes the use and size of U.S. flags in accordance
with Naval Telecommunications Procedures; NTP 13 (B): Flags,
Pennants, & Customs. The national ensign will depend upon the purpose
of display.
Coast Guard Flag
The Coast Guard Flag (until 1962, known as the Coast Guard Standard,
and also known as the Coast Guard Colors) serves as the organizational
flag for parade and display purposes ashore. Before 1917, this flag was
used aboard ship.
The current design was approved on January 28, 1964. It is white, 52 by
66 inches, with the national arms of the United States in blue, the stripes
of the shield in red. Above the arms is the Coast Guard name and below
it the motto, with the date of the Coast Guard's founding at the bottom.
The flag is trimmed with 2-1/2 inch golden-yellow fringe and the staff is
topped by a battle-ax finial. Below the finial are attached the battle
streamers won by the Coast Guard throughout its history.
When the flag is displayed without the streamers, the staff is decorated
with a blue and white cord and tassels.
Union Jack
The union jack is the rectangular blue part of the United States flag
containing the stars. There are specific times and reasons that dictate
how and when the union jack is displayed. The union jack is nearly
always displayed in conjunction with the national ensign (national flag).
For example, when a:
• Vessel is moored, the national ensign and union jack must be
displayed from the flagstaff and jackstaff, respectively, from 0800
until sunset. In the case of a mastless ship, the ensign shall be
displayed from the loftiest hoist available.
• Vessel is under way, the jack is not flown at all and the ensign flies
at the gaff.
• General court-martial or court of inquiry is in session, a daily size
union jack must be displayed at a signal yardarm.
The designation of an official Coast Guard seal and emblem in 1927
confirmed the existence of a symbol that had evolved over the decades.
The central visual in both the emblem and seal is the Coast Guard
shield. The crossed anchors of the shield have been a symbol of the
Coast Guard for many years. The date located on the bottom depicts the
year the Revenue Cutter Service was established, the Coast Guard’s
predecessor.
Initially, the seal and emblem were identical. But over the years, the seal
and emblem became two different devices. The emblem evolved as a
simplification of the seal, and eventually was ordered to be used on the
Coast Guard ensign. The seal is used for official documents and records
of the Coast Guard. It may also be used for jewelry, stationery, etc., at
the discretion of the Commandant. The official seal is also used on
invitations, programs, certificates, diplomas, and greetings.
The Coast Guard emblem also appears on the Coast Guard slash shown
on the sides of our cutters, small boats, aircraft and at our units. In
addition, it is used on medals and plaques where space is limited.
The Coast Guard emblem
The Coast Guard ensign represents a Coast Guard vessel’s law
enforcement authority. The ensign’s heritage dates back to 1799, when
the ensign was used to identify the cutters of the Revenue Marine, the
principal predecessor of the modern Coast Guard.
For many years, this flag was actually flown by vessels of the Revenue
Marine (later called the Revenue Cutter Service) in lieu of the national
ensign (the Stars and Stripes).
By regulation (33 CFR 23.05), the Coast Guard ensign must be
displayed whenever a Coast Guard vessel is engaged in law enforcement
actions. Even when they are not conducting law enforcement missions,
Coast Guard vessels normally fly the ensign from the head of the
forward most mast.
Aboard cutters in commission with a single mast, the ensign flies
immediately below the commissioning pennant. It may be displaced to
the starboard yardarm under certain conditions, such as visits by senior
civil officials or when firing salutes to foreign countries, particularly on
cutters with a single mast (increasingly the norm with modern vessels).
At shore installations, it is displayed from the starboard yardarm of the
flagmast.
The 16 vertical red and white stripes on the Coast Guard ensign
represent the number of states in the Union at the time the flag was
adopted. The ensign’s design has evolved since its introduction.
• In 1910, the Revenue Cutter Service’s distinctive emblem was added
to the ensign. The emblem distinguished this flag from the flag
flown at customs houses and other ports of entry ashore.
• In 1927, the emblem was changed from the Revenue Cutter Service
to the Coast Guard.
• In 1951, the artistic treatment of the U.S. coat of arms in the top
inner quarter of the flag (canton) was made to conform to the coat of
arms on the Great Seal of the United States.
• In 1966, the motto above and below the shield was removed.
Embroidering the names of battles on flags may be traced to the early
days of the Republic. By the end of the 19th century, embroidery was
discontinued in favor of inscribed silver bands around the color staffs.
This too was changed in World War I in favor of small ribbons bearing
battle names. The Coast Guard adopted battle streamers in 1968
following the practice established by the U.S. Marine Corps.
Streamers are attached to the Coast Guard standard, replacing cords and
tassels. They are carried in all ceremonies representing heroic actions in
all naval encounters from 1798 to the Persian Gulf war and beyond. The
Coast Guard has authorized a total of 34 battle streamers.
The commissioning pennant is displayed to indicate the vessel is under
the command of a commissioned officer or a commissioned warrant
officer. Its hoisting is the central event in the commissioning of a new
ship.
From the commissioning until the vessel is decommissioned, the
pennant is flown day and night from the aftermost masthead. An
exception is made when the cutter is flying an admiral’s flag or a
command pennant.
The commissioning pennant is also used to indicate the presence of a
commanding officer in a boat. It is used for all the same purposes as its
U.S. Navy equivalent. Coast Guard commission pennants are the same
size as those used by the Navy...2-1/2 by 72 inches at the largest.

Pennant
Coast Guard Slash
(Racing Stripe)
The Coast Guard’s familiar and distinctive red slash or “racing stripe”
did not appear on our cutters, boats, and aircraft until relatively late in
our history.
In the early '60s, an industrial design firm completed a commissioned
study that concluded the Coast Guard should adopt a standardized
symbol or mark. This unique symbol or mark would distinguish the
Coast Guard from other government agencies. It could be applied to
ships, boats, aircraft, stations, vehicles, signs, and printed forms.
The recommended design was a wide red bar to the right of a narrow
blue bar, both canted at 64 degrees, with the Coast Guard emblem
centered on the red bar. By 1967, the now famous slash appeared
throughout the Coast Guard.
Coast Guard
Motto
An important component in the Coast Guard’s heritage is the Coast
Guard motto...Semper Paratus. This translates to Always Ready and is
both the Coast Guard’s motto and the title of its service song. No official
recognition was given to the Coast Guard motto until it appeared in
1910 on the ensign.
No one seems to know exactly how the motto was chosen. But there is
no doubt who put the famous motto to words and music. Captain Francis
Saltus Van Boskerck wrote the words in the cabin of the cutter
Yamacraw in Savannah, Ga., in 1922. He wrote the music five years
later on a beat-up old piano in Unalaska, Alaska.
For probably as long as Captain Van Boskerck could remember, Semper
Paratus had been a Revenue Cutter and Coast Guard watchword. The
words themselves, always ready or ever ready, date back to ancient
times.

Friendly.

It employees, nor to participate in any matters involving the support contractor.

The history of the Coast Guard actually begins on August 4, 1790 with the
ten cutters (Vigilant, Active, General Green, Massachusetts, Scammel,
Argus, Virginia, Diligence, South Caroline, and Eagle) authorized by
Congress to guard our country’s coastline against smugglers.
The revenue Cutter Service and the U.S. Life Saving Service merged on
January 28, 1915, creating today’s Coast Guard. Later on, several other
Federal agencies are merged with the Coast Guard, including the U.S.
Lighthouse Service.
Marcus A. Hanna was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions while
serving in the Union Army during the Civil War.
On July 4, 1863 at Port Hudson, Louisiana, Hanna voluntarily placed
himself at risk to heavy enemy fire in order to get water for comrades in
rifle pits. After the war, Hanna served as the principal keeper of the Cape
Elizabeth Light Station, near Portland, Maine.
On January 28, 1885, he rescued two men from the wrecked schooner
Australia. Hanna was awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal, making him
the only individual to have won both the Medal of Honor and the Gold
Lifesaving Medal.
Surfman Frederick Hatch was a two-time winner of the Gold Lifesaving
Medal.
He earned his first award while serving in the Life-Saving Service and the
second while serving as a keeper in the Lighthouse Service.
Joshua James was a member of the Massachusetts Humane Society and
U.S. Life-Saving Service...one of the most celebrated lifesavers in our
history.
Credited with saving more than 600 lives, he earned two gold medals,
three silver, and other awards during his long and distinguished career.
His most famous rescue, for which he received one of his Gold Lifesaving
medals, took place in November 1888. James and his crew saved 29
people from five different vessels during one of the worst storms to hit
Hull, Mass.
Ida Lewis is one of the most famous people to have ever served in the
U.S. Lighthouse Service. Through her skill and professional ability, Lewis
became the official keeper of Lime Rock Light Station, a position she held
until her death.
She gained national notoriety during a time when most women in the U.S.
were neither in the professional workforce nor on the national stage. She
met a president, Ulysses S. Grant, and a vice-president, Schuyler Colfax;
made the cover of a national publication, Harper's Weekly, in 1869; was
featured in stories in Putnam's Magazine and The New York Tribune; and
received accolades and awards from around the country.
Most of Lewis’s fame was due to her lifesaver abilities, rather than her
first-rate lightkeeper skills and abilities. The Society of the American
Cross of Honor bestowed upon her the title, The Bravest Woman in
America.
Ida Lewis risked her life countless times to save the shipwrecked or others
in danger of drowning. She was officially credited with saving 18 lives
during her 39 years at Lime Rock and was awarded the Gold Lifesaving
Medal. The first of the recently built keeper class coastal buoy tenders was
named Ida Lewis.
Surfman Rasmus S. Midgett single-handedly rescued ten people from the
grounded ship, Priscilla, on August 18, 1899.
While on patrol three miles from the Gull Shoal Lifeboat Station, he
noticed the flotsam and heard the cries from the broken vessel. Midgett
directed seven passengers through the surf and then carried the other three
to safety. For his actions, he received the Gold Lifesaving Medal
Margaret Norvell, a keeper in the U.S. Lighthouse Service, served at the
Head of Passes Light from 1891 to 1896. She was head keeper at the Port
Pontchartrain Light from 1896 to 1924. Norvell finished her career at the
West End Light where she served from 1924 to 1932.
During her career, she rescued numerous shipwrecked persons and
assisted many others in distress. When a storm swept away every building
in the community except the lighthouse in 1903, Norvell cared for over
200 people who had been left homeless.
A few of the thousands of Coast Guard heroes of the 20th century are
categorized here by the medals awarded for their courageous actions.
The Medal of Honor is the highest U.S. military decoration awarded to a
serviceman for distinct gallantry and courage at the risk of life, above and
beyond the call of duty.
To date, the only Coast Guardsman recipient of the Medal of Honor is
Signalman 1st Class Douglas Albert Munro, awarded posthumously for
his extraordinary heroism on September 27, 1942 at Point Cruz,
Guadalcanal.
Munro provided a shield and covering fire, and
helped evacuate 500 besieged Marines from a
beach at Point Cruz, paying the ultimate
price…his life.
The Navy Cross Medal is awarded to persons serving in any capacity with
the Navy or Marine Corps who distinguish themselves in armed enemy
conflict by extraordinary heroism not justifying the Medal of Honor
award. Several Coast Guardsman recipients of this award are:
Water Tender William H. Best, a crewman of the cutter Seneca on
convoy duty during World War I. Awarded posthumously for
“services in attempting to save the British merchant steamer
Wellington after a German submarine had torpedoed her on
September 17, 1918.”
Cook Elam Russell of the cutter Seneca on convoy duty during
World War I. Awarded posthumously for “services in attempting to
save the British merchant steamer Wellington after a German
submarine had torpedoed her on September 17, 1918.”
Petty Officer (later Commander) Raymond J. Evans for his actions at
the Matanikau River, Guadalcanal on September 27, 1942. Along
with Douglas Munro, provided covering fire for and evacuated
elements of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines.
The Coast Guard Distinguished Service Medal is awarded to persons
serving in any capacity with the Coast Guard who distinguish themselves
by exceptionally meritorious service to the United States in a duty of great
responsibility.
Awarded posthumously to Acting Machinist William L. Boyce, a member
of the crew of the USCGC Seneca during World War I, for “services in
attempting to save the British merchant steamer Wellington after a
German submarine had torpedoed her on September 17, 1918
The Silver Star Medal is awarded to persons serving in any capacity with
the Navy or Marine Corps who distinguish themselves by extraordinary
heroism not justifying the award of the Medal of Honor; while engaged in
military operations against an enemy of the United States.
Chief Machinist Mate Benjamin F. Harrison, a crew member of the
CGC Campbell for gallantry and intrepidity in action. Following a
collision between and the CGC Campbell with the U-606, his
performance saved the ship from going down.
Petty Officers Willis Goff and Larry Villareal for their actions on
January 21, 1969 in rescuing, in the face of heavy automatic weapons
fire, a nine-man Army of Viet Nam (ARVN) detachment trapped by
two Vietcong platoons.
The Legion of Merit Medal is awarded to U.S. military personnel for
service rendered comparable to that required for the Distinguished Service
Medal but in a lesser duty (though with considerable responsibility).
The Legion of Merit medal was awarded to Surfman John A. Cullen for
discovering and reporting the first landing of German saboteurs on the
U.S. coast on June 13, 1942. His timely report led to the capture of the
entire 8-man sabotage team before the German operatives could carry out
their mission.
The Coast Guard Medal is awarded to persons serving on active duty
in the Coast Guard who distinguish themselves by heroism not
involving actual conflict with an enemy. Two recipients of the Coast
Guard Medal are noted here.
SA William Ray “Billy” Flores was awarded the Coast Guard Medal.
He died in the line of duty while saving the lives of many of his
shipmates. When his cutter, the Blackthorn, collided with the tanker
Capricorn, on January 28, 1980, Flores and another crewmember
threw lifejackets to their shipmates in the water. When the Blackthorn
began to submerge, his companion abandoned ship. Flores remained
behind and used his own belt to strap open the lifejacket locker door,
allowing additional lifejackets to float to the surface.
Machinery Technician First Class Charles W. Sexton, USCG, was
posthumously awarded the Coast Guard Medal for “extraordinary
heroism.” Petty Officer Sexton demonstrated remarkable initiative,
exceptional fortitude, and daring in spite of imminent danger in his
rescue efforts on January 11, 1991. At the time, he was serving as
emergency medical technician aboard Coast Guard Motor Lifeboat
CG-44381.
Responding to a distress call from F/V Sea King, a 75-foot stern
trawler, Sexton volunteers to board the foundering fishing vessel to
treat a crewmember’s injuries. Sexton skillfully diagnoses the injuries
and stabilizes the victim, then assists with dewatering the vessel. The
Sea King suddenly capsizes, throwing victims into the churning seas
and trapping Sexton in the enclosed pilothouse. He goes down with the
vessel, sacrificing his life while attempting to save the lives of Sea
King’s crewmembers.
The Bronze Star Medal is awarded to persons serving in any capacity with
U.S. Armed Forces who distinguish themselves after December 6, 1941
by:
• Heroic actions
• Meritorious achievement
• Service not involving participation in aerial flight while engaged in
enemy action.
The Bronze Star was awarded to BMC Richard Patterson, a crew
member of the CGC Point Welcome, for his heroic actions. Patterson’s
cutter came under attack by friendly aircraft in August of 1966 just south
of the demilitarized zone in South Vietnam. His decisive actions, without
regard for his own safety, were instrumental in saving the lives of most of
the crewmembers.
The Gold Lifesaving Medal is awarded for rescues of extreme and heroic
daring in saving or attempting to save another from drowning, a
shipwreck, or other perils of the water. Since 1874, more than 600 Gold
Lifesaving Medals have been awarded. Some recipients of these metals
are listed here.
John Allen Midgett, Keeper of the Chicamacomico Lifeboat Station,
N.C. On August 16, 1918 braving heavy surf and burning oil, Midgett
and his men (5 of 6 also named Midgett) rescued all but 10 men in a 6-
½ hour ordeal from the burning British tanker, Mirlo, (a victim of U-
117). For their efforts, the Midgetts received Gold Lifesaving medals.
John Azeling Steadman, Radioman 3rd Class was awarded the Gold
Lifesaving Medal, posthumously. The award was for his heroic daring
in endeavoring to save the lives of two persons from drowning during
a hurricane that swept over Penzance Point, Woods Hole, MA on
September 21, 1938.
Bernand C. Webber, Boatswain Mate 1st Class and three
crewmembers (EN3 Andrew Fitzgerald, SN Richard Livesey, and SN
Irving Maske) of the CG-36500 were awarded Gold Lifesaving
Medals for their heroic rescue of the crew of the merchant tanker
Pendleton. The tanker had broken in half during a storm on February
18, 1952 off the coast of Chatham, Massachusetts. With expert skill,
they saved 33 of the 34 crewman.
Dennis R. Bauer, SN was awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal
posthumously for his extreme and heroic deed on December 2, 1965.
While serving on USCGC Bramble (WLB 392), Bauer attempted to
rescue a Coast Guardsman in danger of drowning in the cold waters
adjacent to the USCG Base Detroit, Michigan.
The following were all awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal posthumously
“for heroic daring during a sea rescue on January 18, 1953.”
• Winfield J. Hammond, Chief Aviation Electronicsman
• Joseph R. Bridge, Aviation Ordnanceman 1st class
• Tracey W. Miller, Aviation Machinists Mate 3rd class.
They were crewmen on board a Coast Guard PBM that crashed offshore
of mainland China while conducting a rescue of the crew of a Navy
reconnaissance aircraft that had been shot down. All were killed in the
crash
The Silver Lifesaving Medal is awarded for those rescue actions slightly
less outstanding than rescues qualified for the Gold Lifesaving Metal.
Since 1874, more than 1,900 Silver Lifesaving Medals have been
awarded.
SN Ralph E. Mace was awarded the Silver Lifesaving Medal
posthumously for heroic action on January 12, 1961, while serving as a
crew member aboard the CG-5230.
Mace engaged in the attempted rescue of two persons from the F/V
