USCG Band - Semper Paratus

[@hucklebuck72]

Such an underrated branch but such an important one. Semper Paratus Coast Guard

[@smwca123]

Neither march nor motto are ever mentioned in the move "The Guardian". The USCG might be called the "armed service that isn't", in that it's usually under the Secretary of Homeland Security *(previously Transportation and Commerce). In wartime or when so directed by the President, USCG may operate under the Secretary of the Navy.

[@grimeymateo8325]

During a war the USCG is a branch of the military.

[@DeputyNordburg]

@@grimeymateo8325 Also before WW2 and after. The Coast Guard is always a branch of the U.S. Military.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

So many people just don't know who and what we are, and what all that we do ! But WE know - Semper Paratus

[@texmex9721]

The Coast Guard is one of 6 Armed Services of the United States, and always has been. It is always a military service. It is not normally under the Department of Defence, but is usually moved there in time of war. The DOD was not even created until 1947 btw. If moved into the DOD, it falls under the Navy just like the Marine Corps.

[@ElmoRocket49]

I'm 63 and I would love to put on the uniform and march to Semper Paratus, just one more time. Still love that song.

[@kblib57]

My mother served during World War II, 1943-46, and was extremely proud to be a member of the US Coast Guard. Tomorrow, I will bury her at the age of 93. She was always a brave and exceptional woman. I am making sure the US Coast Guard is present at her burial. Semper Paratus was a theme by which my beloved mother lived.

[@JerryOfAllTradesAries]

I kindly thank your mother for serving. And although I personally don't believe in God as a holy being, I wish to bless you and your family. My cousin is currently serving in the navy, my uncle's in the army, my grandfather is a veteran of the Vietnam War, and my dad attempted to serve in the Air Force just to name a few. No matter what the USCG is considered, whether military or simply defense, I will always understand their importance and how they have helped this country just as much, if not more than my relatives.

I played Sousaphone in the USCG Alameda Training Center Band in 1971, back in the days before we all had video recorders with sound. Boy, I would love to find a film of that on line.

Every morning -- August - October 1972 -- this was my morning parade at USCG Training Center Cape May, New Jersey. They turned boys into men.

[@carolcalderon1909]

Love the Coast Guard, especially in Alaska. If you're in trouble on the water, these are the guys you want to call.

[@pnwesterner6220]

@@Szgerle The Coast Guard is the only service that works to help people, other than the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (which is considered a uniformed service and can be deployed to war). The Coast Guard will go out for search and rescue operations in the worst weather, if you are lost at sea your savior will look an orange and white helicopter.
