Douglas C. Luper CWO4, USCG Retired Auxiliary Administration Branch Coast Guard Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety Douglas C. Luper CWO4, USCG Retired Auxiliary Administration Branch Coast Guard Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety Doug Luper assumed the duties of Auxiliary Training Program Manager in the Auxiliary Administration Branch in January 2011. Previously he served as the Safety Compliance Officer in the Office of Auxiliary and Boating Safety’s Recreational Boating Safety Division at Coast Guard at Headquarters and ultimately advanced to CWO4 before retiring in 2010. He joined the Coast Guard on the delayed entry program in Asheville, North Carolina with initial aspirations of being an Aviator at his first unit, Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina. But, after driving the boats at the Boathouse, he quickly realized driving boats was his higher calling. His first ship was the USCGC TANEY (WHEC-37) in Portsmouth, Virginia. He was then selected for Boatswain Mate “A” school and was selected as the class leader where he graduated and was presented the Highest Petty Officer Potential award. After graduation, he went straight into Coxswain “C’ school and then to Ft. Macon, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. He also attended Motor Lifeboat School where he graduated first in his class and began saving lives. He later advanced to Boatswain’s Mate Second Class and transferred to the USCGC DECISIVE (WMEC-629) in St Petersburg, Florida where he qualified as a Boarding Officer and was involved in numerous high profile drug interdiction cases and migrant interdiction operations. After advancing to Boatswain’s Mate First Class he transferred to Coast Guard Station Coinjock, North Carolina, where he spent four years as the Executive Petty Officer. After three years, Station Coinjock was moved and subsequently renamed Station Elizabeth City. He then transferred to the Navy/Coast Guard Joint Afloat Training Group Little Creek, Virginia as a Deck Seamanship Ship Rider and Instructor developing training criteria for Coast Guard Surface assets. While assigned at the Afloat Training Group he advanced to Chief Petty Officer and was pinned “half Navy Chief and half Coast Guard Chief”. He also certified as Officer in Charge Aids to Navigation Ashore & Afloat and Officer in Charge Search and Rescue Ashore & Afloat. He then transferred to the USCGC RED CEDAR (WLM-688) as the Deck Chief working Aids to Navigation in the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. The Commanding Officer assigned him as the “Chief of the Boat”. He later decommissioned the vessel and transferred her to Argentina. He went back to Station Elizabeth City as the Officer in Charge for four years and advanced to Senior Chief Petty Officer. After a short time, he was encouraged to submit his Chief Warrant Officer package and was later selected and subsequently appointed as a CWO2 and was probably the only CWO2 as an Officer in Charge at the time. After his Change of Command, he departed Station Elizabeth City and arrived at Coast Guard Headquarters Office of Auxiliary and Boasting Safety, where he was responsible for a $3 million contract that regulated all recreational boat manufacturers in the US. .

U.S. Coast Guard Photo, Courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command By Michael Kern Program Assistant, National History Day 1 “The point was that we on the scene knew for sure that we could substitute machines for lives and that if we could plague and smother the enemy with an unbearable weight of machinery in the months to follow, hundreds of thousands of our young men whose expectancy of survival would otherwise have been small could someday walk again through their own front doors.” - Ernie Pyle, Brave Men 2 What is National History Day? National History Day is a non-profit organization which promotes history education for secondary and elementary education students. The program has grown into a national program since its humble beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio in 1974. Today over half a million students participate in National History Day each year, encouraged by thousands of dedicated teachers. Students select a historical topic related to a theme chosen each year. They conduct primary and secondary research on their chosen topic through libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and interviews. Students analyze and interpret their sources before presenting their work in original papers, exhibits, documentaries, websites, or performances. Students enter their projects in contests held each spring at the local, state, and national level where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. The program culminates in the Kenneth E. Behring National Contest, held on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park each June.

  • The Legacy of Commodore David Porter, USN: Midshipman David Glasgow Farragut Part One of a Three-Part Series
    The Legacy of Commodore David Porter, USN: Midshipman David Glasgow Farragut Part One of a three-part series Vice Admiral Jim Sagerholm, USN (Ret.), September 15, 2020 blueandgrayeducation.org David Glasgow Farragut | National Portrait Gallery In any discussion of naval leadership in the Civil War, two names dominate: David Glasgow Farragut and David Dixon Porter. Both were sons of David Porter, one of the U.S. Navy heroes in the War of 1812, Farragut having been adopted by Porter in 1808. Farragut’s father, George Farragut, a seasoned mariner from Spain, together with his Irish wife, Elizabeth, operated a ferry on the Holston River in eastern Tennessee. David Farragut was their second child, born in 1801. Two more children later, George moved the family to New Orleans where the Creole culture much better suited his Mediterranean temperament. Through the influence of his friend, Congressman William Claiborne, George Farragut was appointed a sailing master in the U.S. Navy, with orders to the naval station in New Orleans, effective March 2, 1807. George Farragut | National Museum of American David Porter | U.S. Naval Academy Museum History The elder Farragut traveled to New Orleans by horseback, but his wife and four children had to go by flatboat with the family belongings, a long and tortuous trip lasting several months. A year later, Mrs. Farragut died from yellow fever, leaving George with five young children to care for. The newly arrived station commanding officer, Commander David Porter, out of sympathy for Farragut, offered to adopt one of the children. The elder Farragut looked to the children to decide which would leave, and seven-year-old David, impressed by Porter’s uniform, volunteered to go.

  • Interviewee: Marvin J. Perrett, USCGR World War II U
    U.S. Coast Guard Oral History Program Interviewee: Marvin J. Perrett, USCGR World War II U. S. Coast Guard Veteran Interviewer: Scott Price, Deputy Historian Date of Interview: 18 June 2003 Place: U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Marvin Perrett joined the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II and served aboard the Coast Guard-manned attack transport USS Bayfield (APA-33) as a coxswain of one of the Bayfield's landing craft. He was a veteran of the invasions of Normandy, Southern France, Iwo Jima and Okinawa and he even survived the "Exercise Tiger" debacle prior to the Normandy invasion. Although each of these events has received extensive coverage, his story, and the story of the thousands of young men who manned the boats that landed troops on enemy beaches, is little- known. It seems that the men who transported the troops to the beach were often been overlooked by historians, writers, and film producers. Yet, as Mr. Perret points out, without them, how would any invasion have happened? 1 Mr. Perrett's oral history is comprehensive. He describes his decision to join the Coast Guard and he then delves into the extensive training he received and how he was picked to be the sailor in charge of a landing craft. He also describes, in detail, this craft he sailed through enemy fire during the invasions he took part in. The boat he commanded was the ubiquitous LCVP, or "Landing Craft, Vehicle / Personnel. It was made primarily of wood by the famous company Higgins Industries in New Orleans.
