On National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor the lives lost the morning of 7 December 1941 and the courage of those who responded.

Although from last year's 80th anniversary, this article by Dr. William H. Thiesen, PhD (Historian, U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Area Command) remains a powerful look into the ways the Coast Guard supported the war effort before, during, and after the Pearl Harbor attack.

Cats played a role on Navy and Coast Guard vessels at one point in history. In 1943, Herman the cat would officially be commissioned by the military as an “Expert Mouser.” His primary duty was to control and extirpate the rodent population aboard the vessel. Like other Coast Guard members, Herman was issued an identification card for his hometown in Baltimore.
