Shipmates,
Last night I had the opportunity to visit Flotilla 78 along with our SO-Communications Jon James. The energy was high and it was great to see 31 members in attendance for the meeting. One particular highlight was the presentation of the Auxiliary Membership Service Award to Wayne Monroe for THIRTY years of service to the Nation in the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Bravo Zulu Wayne and thank you for the leadership and dedication to duty you've shown over the last three decades.

Shipmates, I would add that 78 has a great meeting and it is well worth staying after the TCT. Even if you don't attend the TCT consider visiting 78 to enjoy the company of your shipmates. Best, DarenSunday, September 5, 2010

Shipmates,
We've discussed the importance of family preparedness in being Semper Paratus. We cannot assist others if our families are not safe. Commandant Papp and Mrs. Papp kick off National Preparedness month with this message about the basics of being prepared for disasters. Please take a few minutes to watch the video and follow up with action.
