Morale Day August 25th 2020
This post is to announce the Station Niagara Loss of Crewmen Memorial Design Contest.
This contest is being sponsored by Eastern Great Lakes CPOA.
Back ground info: On March 24, 2001 Station Niagara lost 2 of their crew in an unfortunate accident. Due to this accident and loss of life, changes were put in place that changed the small boat community forever. I will post articles and the "Final Action Message" that tells the story and how it changed the way the Coast Guard does business.
A Memorial was erected back in March 2011 and Officially Commemorated in a Ceremony on 23 March 2011, but a couple years back a storm and rising water levels in lake Ontario has destroyed it and made it necessary to move the location of the memorial. I have attached pictures of the old Memorial and Pictures of the new location.
The Eastern Great Lakes Chapter of the CPOA is sponsoring a Design the Memorial contest. We have a lot of talented people out there that could come up with a great design, this is to include all members in the Sector Buffalo AOR (A-Bay to Lorain). The winning design will receive a $200.00 gift card and have their name on the memorial as "designed by".
Now the good stuff-
Details for the design: We have the Bell and both of the plaques that you see in pictures: Memorial 1 & 2. The size of the New Location you have to work with in the pictures is 18'W x 38'.
Please have all designed submitted by 01 July 2020.
Please help us memorialize this event that changed the Coast Guard.
If you have any questions on the location and items do not hesitate to contact Herb Gierschke
Submissions can be E-mailed to [email protected]
Reminder- no meeting this month to comply with the social distancing rules. Business is being conducted electronically. Motions and votes are made via e-mails. Please feel free to message any questions.
Stay safe

Station Buffalo gave us a thank you card. We couldn't have done it alone. This thank you goes to all those that donate and support us.
Price Chopper made financial gifts to federal workers during the government shutdown. $2,000 was given to the US Coast Guard stationed at Alexandria Bay, but guardsmen…
We have received tremendous support from the community, and heard many grateful people for the support.
Regardless if temporary or permanent, the support and concern from the community has been astounding, and very much appreciated.
Thank you, truly, thank you to our community.
GUIDANCE TO CPOA CHAPTERS REGARDING TEMPORARY REOPENING OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:
Although we have received terrific news today about the temporary reopening of the federal government, please continue all resource allocation that is currently in place. Next week, our Team Coast Guard members will be receiving back pay, but may have been significantly impacted financially by the pay lapse and may need continued resource support. Beyond next week's pay allocation, I recommend that resources not be completely disbanded until CG appropriations are in place and the risk of pay lapse is resolved. Thank you for all that you do...we couldn't be more proud of how you all quickly stood up!
