Rescue at Sea | 2023 Tribute to the 8th Coast Guard District

The Coast Guard Foundation recognizes the Coast Guard rescuers who saved three recreational fishermen from shark-infested waters off Empire, Louisiana, on Oct. 9 2022 after their boat capsized in rough weather. The story of the fishermen’s survival and the daring rescue made headlines and captivated news viewers late last year.

So happy we were able to find them I was part of that case and proud to be part of this search & rescue. Not to mention multiple cases were happening at the same time. #GoCoastGuard #OperationsSpecialist #TeamWork
