We routinely attended these meetings prior to our transfer from DOT to the Department of Homeland Security six years ago this month. At that time it was promised that: Although we will not longer be part of DOT, our association with DOT will not end. We will not only continue our partnership in the areas of maritime transportation safety and mobility, but will strengthen that relationship.(ALCOAST 106/03) We have kept this promise, continuously working beside our DOT partners to ensure the efficiency, safety, security and environmental health of the Marine Transportation System (MTS). You can see this commitment through our recent efforts to refocus on our marine safety responsibilities through the Barge Cargo Capacity Comparison Marine Safety Performance Plan; our active role in partnership on, and Originally uploaded by icommandant currently as the Chair of the Committee on the MTS (CMTS); and our continued outstanding performance in maintaining the nation's critical navigable waterways, both in routine times, and in responding to both natural and manmade disasters, such as this summer's Midwest floods and the massive oil spill on the lower Mississippi. These shared responsibilities between DOT and the Coast Guard are probably more critical now than in recent memory due to the current economic challenges our nation and the World faces.

  • Special 2019 of the Marine Safety & Security Council
    S PECIAL WOMEN ’S H IG H LIG H T S I ss UE Special 2019 of the Marine Safety & Security Council PIONEERS & PRODIGIES Established in 1716, the U.S. Lighthouse Service and its lighthouse keepers shouldered the responsibility of keeping the waters safe for mariners. Any Coastie would tell you was the most famous keeper was Ida Lewis. Born on February 25, 1842, she began helping her parents tend the Lime Rock Light in Rhode Island when she was 15, and is credited with saving 18 lives. The U.S. Lighthouse Service consolidated with the U.S. Coast Guard in 1939. From the Coast Guard collection Like the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. maritime community would not be what it is today without the strength of women who continue to make history and lead it into the 21st Century. It’s important to recognize that their contributions have given the U.S. one of the most diverse maritime communi- ties in the world. But there is more to be done, and we must continue to encourage women to join the maritime community to increase the diversity and overall effectiveness of our workforce. The perspective and skills of women in the U.S. maritime community continue to support a vibrant and effective industry that best serves our country. Our maritime community and national security will be stronger from their contributions and leadership. —Admiral Karl L. Schultz Commandant, United States Coast Guard Our World Maritime theme for this year is “Empowering Women in the Maritime Community.” Improving the participation of women in society leads to better social and economic outcomes.

(“APPS”), was enacted by Congress to implement the provisions of the MARPOL treaty and annexes thereto to which the United States of America is a party. As part of APPS, Congress created an ‘after-the-fact’ statutory remedy codified at 33 U.S.C. § 1904(h), which provides that “a ship unreasonable detained or delayed by the Secretary acting under the authority of this chapter is entitled to compensation for any loss or damage suffered thereby.” The M/V ANTONIS G.

  • LT Crotty, USCG, WWII POW of the Japanese
    PACIFIC CURRENTS NEWSLETTER “They Also Serve” VOLUME XX ISSUE IV 1 DECEMBER 2019 United States Coast Guard Retiree Council Northwest LT CROTTY, USCG, WWII POW OF THE JAPANESE Lieutenant Thomas James Eugene Crotty, USCG was laid to rest on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019 at : Holy Cross Cemetery, 2900 South Park Avenue, Lackawanna, New York LT Thomas Crotty was the only Coast Guardsman to serve in the Defense of the Philippines. Crotty was the first Coast Guard prisoner of war since the War of 1812 and one of four USCG POWs during WWII. Crotty served in four different military branches while deployed to the Philippines. Crotty managed and coached Buffalo's 1929 American Legion Junior National Baseball Championship team and he was class president during his time at the Coast Guard Academy. LT Crotty’s story has been lost and forgotten like the heroic sacrifices made by thousands of defenders of Bataan and Corregidor. Jimmy Crotty was a member of the long blue line and his brief life embodied the Coast Guard’s core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty. LT Crotty was born on 18 March 1912, in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1934 after serving as Company Commander, class president and captain of the Academy’s football team. After graduation, Crotty began a promising Coast Guard career, which hardened him into a mature leader. For six years, he served on board cutters based out of New York, Seattle, Sault Ste. Marie and San Diego. His assignments included duty on cutter Tampa, during her 1934 rescue of passengers from the burning passenger liner Morro Castle; and, a Justice Department appointment as special deputy on the Bering Sea Patrol.

    “The Aiguillette” The Society of White House Military Aides Summer 2014 May 15, 2014 Chairman’s Report – Summer of 2014 “Standing Tall and Looking Good, We Ought to be in Hollywood” Year 24 and Counting. This year, our 24th, will prove to be the capstone for 25 years of service to former and current military aides. That will become clearer in the Fall when we announce our, " Next 25 Years" initiative. The Society grew during that time from a list of 40 aides to over 500 aides who have paid dues at one time or another, 151 Lifetime Members, with 39 of those the last 3 years, and 37 Obama and Bush '43 Aides. We are definitely attracting younger members. The Christmas event was sold out again, featuring a really great tour of the Decatur House on 10 December, an address by noted White House Historian William Seale, and a Candlelight Tour on 22 December. See the wonderful pictures, compliment of Matthew Paul D'Agostino, M.A, White House Historical Association, thank you Dag. During that 24 years we have escorted privately over 3000 people through the Christmas White House, and over 5000 have attended our many events. We are very proud of that accomplishment and I should thank Bill Sinnott (Carter/Reagan), Veronica Richardson (Clinton), Tim Milbrath (Reagan/Clinton) who have served us unselfishly for many years, and Paul Crissy (Reagan) who helped us in the 1990's to get things moving in the right direction. Also Andy Lawrence (Johnson/Nixon) and Mary Stuart Price for the vision to create this Society.
