🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from the
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary & Flotilla 29! 🇺🇸

As you celebrate with family and friends, please boat responsibly - wear your life jacket, designate a sober operator, and make safety your first priority. A safe day on the water means everyone returns home to celebrate with those they love.

From all of us in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, thank you for allowing us to serve this incredible community. We wish you a safe, and blessed Independence Day.

Proud Traditions. Worthy Missions. ⚓️🇺🇸

🇺🇸⚓ This Fourth of July weekend, celebrate responsibly on the water!

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is proud to support Operation Dry Water, a nationwide campaign focused on preventing boating under the influence (BUI). Just like drinking and driving, drinking and boating can have deadly consequences. Sun, wind, waves, and alcohol can quickly impair judgment, reaction time, and situational awareness.

As you enjoy America’s birthday on the water:
✅ Designate a sober operator
✅ Wear a life jacket
✅ Stay alert and aware of your surroundings
✅ Never boat under the influence

Whether you’re operating a boat, personal watercraft, kayak, or paddleboard, make safety your top priority.

This Independence Day, help keep our waterways safe for everyone. Boat sober. Boat smart. Boat safely.

🛟 Class is in session! 🛟

We’ve still got 5 seats available for our June Boat America Boater’s Safety Course. Whether you’re a seasoned captain or still figuring out which end of the boat goes first, there’s something to learn, and it might just save your day (or someone else’s).

Because the Coast Guard would much rather meet you in a classroom than on your worst day.

Come sharpen your skills, pick up a few tips you didn’t know you needed, and help make our waterways safer for everyone.

⚓ Bonus: The only thing you’ll be navigating is the course material - not an embarrassing call to the Coast Guard.

Register today before those 5 spots are gone!

Today, the United States Coast Guard joins the entire Nation in honoring the brave men and women across all branches of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Whether on land, at sea, in the air, or in space, those who gave their lives in defense of our freedoms share a unified legacy of courage, service, and devotion. On this Memorial Day, we remember our fallen heroes in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.

We stand with their families, loved ones, and communities today and always. The weight of their sacrifice spans across every branch, and their memories will never be forgotten.

Semper Paratus.

Make the most of National Safe Boating Week (May 16–22, 2026) by making safety your priority. Wear a life jacket every time you’re on the water. Falls overboard happen without warning—and a life jacket could mean the difference between a close call and a tragedy for you and the people who love you.
