USO Supporter,

Today, the U.S. Coast Guard turns 234 years old, and we need your help to say happy birthday and THANK YOU to our Coasties and all the service members who have our backs.

Thank you to the Coast Guard for conducting more than 22,000 search and rescue missions each year.

Thank you for putting yourself in harm's way for your fellow Americans.

Thank you for embodying your motto, Semper Paratus, and for always being ready.

It’s our patriotic duty to make sure Coasties — and all our heroes in uniform — know how much we appreciate their service.

So as we celebrate the Coast Guard’s 234th birthday today, will you sign the happy birthday card? We need 50,000 signatures by midnight tonight — please add your name now:

Thank you for supporting the Coast Guard and honoring the military.

—The USO
