City of New London OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Hello “Celebrate New London Day” Visitors, I want to thank you for attending this great event and supporting the continued partnership between the City of New London and the United States Coast Guard. New London and the Coast Guard have enjoyed a close relation for over a century and it continues to get stronger. The City of New London is proud to be the home birth of the United States Coast Guard Barque Eagle, America’s tall ship. New London has also enjoyed great community support from the Coast Guard Academy through their work with Habitat for Humanity. These efforts are just some examples of the partnership between the Coast Guard and New London and it is only going to continue to get stronger. New London is proud that the National Coast Guard Museum is coming to downtown New London, and the City is working with the Coast Guard to make New London a national “Coast Guard City.” Thank you for attending this event and enjoy the day at this great New London institution. Sincerely, Daryl Justin Finizio Mayor, City of New London SUPERINTENDENT UNITED STATES COAST GUARD ACADEMY 15 MOHEGAN AVENUE NEW LONDON, CT 06320 - 8100 Dear Fellow Members of the New London Community, Welcome to Cadet Memorial Field at the United States Coast Guard Academy! We are excited to have you join us in celebrating New London, and experiencing Bears Football as we face the Seahawks of Salve Regina. As a federal service academy we emphasize leadership, professional development and physical fitness. On our playing fields cadets learn firsthand the value of teamwork and dedication, and they carry those lessons with them in service throughout the nation and the world. Upon graduation, our cadets go directly into positions of leadership in service to others. That spirit of service is something that starts right here in New London with local community service. The Coast Guard Academy community is part of the New London Community, and we have been for over 100 years. Our relationship with the people of New London and our partnership with the City is very important to us. So please join us in cheering on the home team of cadet-athletes as they resolve to be worthy of the traditions we have celebrated right here for so many years. GO BEARS! Sincerely, Sandra L. Stosz Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard New London Public Schools OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT Dear Celebrate New London Communities, The over one hundred year connection between the City of New London and the USCGA is a partnership to celebrate. We all do that today in a special way. Special in that we celebrate through the students of the New London Public Schools. The Academy is an inspiration as an institution. This inspiration shows through its cadets and graduates. Today, through the USCGA's Partnership in Education Program (PIE) and other educational initiatives, the Academy also inspires our young New London students. It inspires them to think of, "what may be". To think if I work hard in school, I will also achieve in the area I choose. Through family, especially my uncle CAPT Paul Foye USCG (Ret), I, as a young New London student was fortunate to experience the CGA inspiration. We are happy to provide this to our NLPS students today. The New London Public Schools is, indeed, proud and honored to celebrate our partnership with the USCGA and the inextricable link that exists between the Academy and the City of New London. Richard Foye Interim Superintendent of Schools Celebrate New London! 3.
