Today is the U.S. Coast Guard's 236th birthday!

On Aug. 4, 1790, President George Washington signed the Tariff Act, authorizing 10 cutters proposed by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Those cutters formed the Revenue Cutter Service, which eventually became today’s Coast Guard.

This day honors the brave men and women who safeguard our nation’s waterways, enforce maritime law and perform critical search and rescue missions.

Thank you to all of those who have served or are currently serving with the U.S. Coast Guard!

Seven years ago, our community was forever changed.

In the early hours of Aug. 4, 2019, nine people tragically lost their lives in the Oregon District.

You can visit the Seed of Life Memorial, dedicated to their memory and a reflective space for grief and growth, near the corner of Fifth Street and Wayne Avenue.

Today, we remember them. We honor their lives. We are . 💛
