This State of the Coast Guard 2018 introductory video highlights the hard work men and women of the Coast Guard do to ensure the security and prosperity of our Nation. From search and rescue response, undermining Transnational Criminal Organizations in the Western Hemisphere, to ensuring access to opening shipping routes in the Arctic and asserting sovereignty, the Coast Guard lives up to and continues to be Semper Paratus. U.S. Coast Guard video by Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick Kelley.
