In an effort to expand our community outreach, the Honor Guard has partnered with the local Alexandria chapter of the US Naval Sea Cadets. This weekend a member of the staff went to give a presentation on Coast Guard operations and career paths to a group of cadets, and plans of the Drill Team working with the students is in the works as well!

Over the weekend, the Honor Guard participated in two Joint Service events here in DC: a Joint Service Drill Exhibition and the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade.
On Friday, our Drill Team performed alongside teams from 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) , Marine Barracks Washington 8th & IUS Navy Ceremonial Guard , and United States Air Force Honor Guard. The team executed exceptionally well on the National Mall with plenty of guests in attendance.
Saturday, the whole unit marched down Constitution Ave and past the White House in the Cherry Blossom Parade, with an estimated attendance of 5000 people!

SN Kovacs still making the Honor Guard proud! Best of luck as you complete A-school and in your first rated assignment!
Meet Seaman Matthew Kovacs! Seaman Kovacs is currently in Storekeeper (SK) A-school. He previously served in the U.S. Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard in Washington, DC. Seaman Kovacs chose SK to gain skills that are transferable to finance.
He almost took a different path in the military. “I wanted to go into the Army. I’m from Indianapolis, IN, and Coast Guard recruiters came to my high school from Columbus, OH and changed my mind,” he said. Initially, he was unsure if the Coast Guard would offer the experiences the Army would. Lucky for us, the recruiters were able to show Seaman Kovacs all that the Coast Guard had to offer!
His most enjoyable experiences so far have been serving in the Honor Guard and getting to participate in large ceremonies like the Coast Guard Birthday celebration.
Share your story on why you chose your rate below! For more information on becoming an SK, visit https://www.gocoastguard.com/active-duty-careers/enlisted-opportunities/view-job-descriptions/sk.

A few weeks ago our team team traveled to Michigan for the Grand Haven Coast Guard Festival. The Drill Team had a full week of performances all over town, culminating in a final performance just before the town’s incredible firework display. We also had the oppurtunity to participate in the annual memorial ceremony for the USCGC ESCANABA (WPG-77) and her crew.
Thank you to U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes and U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan for hosting the team; we’re looking forward to next year!

Congratulations to SN Jones on a successful tour!
SN Jones was an exemplary member of the Casket Team, making an incredibly difficult role seem effortless. His expertise on the marks is what led to his selection as the Coast Guard pallbearer for the funeral honors of former Sec. of State Colin Powell.
Good luck at SK “A”-School!
08/11/2022
Congratulations to SN Bellot, SN Miller, SN McFarlin, and SN Ramos on successful completion of their Honor Guard tours! Between these four future leaders, they’ve completed well over a thousand missions across the country. SN Bellot & SN Miller we’re exceptional leaders within the Casket Team, and SN Ramos & McFarlin we’re specialized Silent Drill Team members. Good luck in your respective “A”-Schools & fair winds and following seas!

One of our missions at the Honor Guard is to render honors for the arrival of foreign heads of state, dignitaries, and military leaders. Last week we had the honor of providing a cordon for the Prime Minister of Fiji as he arrived at C.G. Headquarters to meet with the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard.

The U.S. Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard Color Guard celebrated the Coast Guard’s 232nd birthday in our Nation’s Capitol by presenting colors at the Washington Nationals game last night. Our teams always look forward to showcasing their craft on the big stage, in front of the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, our shipmates in the D.C. area, and the thousands of fans in attendance for the ball game.

This week, the U.S. Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard had the honor of supporting a great American.
Secretary Norman Y. Mineta’s honors were held in San Jose, hosted by the City and attended by notable Americans from across the country. To quote President Clinton’s speech today, ”Mineta was a builder rather than a divider, who chose to use his power and influence for others rather than for himself.” Most notable, Sec. Mineta was detained as a boy in a Japanese Internment Camp during WWII. Rather than allowing the experience to embitter him, he chose to write a different story— one of commitment and service to his country and his fellow Americans. He is the model of public service and is an example of why we serve at the CG Ceremonial Honor Guard.

Throwback Thursday to Prime Minister Koizumis arrival was with President G.W. Bush in May, 2006. MLB Great Hank Aaron was also in attendance. This was a long day that started with a daytime ceremony on the White House lawn.
“AS PART OF MR. KOIZUMI'S OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE VISIT, THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY HOSTED A BLACK TIE DINNER ON THURSDAY EVENING. THE NIGHT BEGAN WITH THE PRIME MINISTER'S ARRIVAL AT THE NORTH PORTICO ENTRANCE.”

I have a question. On Superbowl Sunday the Joint Color Guard was introduced as a part of the "Military District of Washington". Has something changed?
One more from the Inauguration!
So proud of our Honor Guard! What an amazing day!
Redoing my Combo-cover - Can someone please remind me what the canvas top is that we used? Is it a Navy Chief's? Also, what size would fit a 7 1/4"?
Drill Team job. Bethesda, Maryland. Either 1982 or 1983.
Here is a video and picture of me doing a cordon for President Ford's funeral in 2007. I actually caught pneumonia because we didn't wear trench coats. I had a cough for like 2 months too. Crazy times. This was on January 3rd, 2007.
