The U.S. Coast Guard's youngest recruits, Coast Guard "Brats" are initiated at birth into the proud tradition of America's oldest maritime law enforcement force.
Committed to sharing their parents with Uncle Sam, they wait on land in support of the Coast Guard’s mission, strengthening America's domestic security through their courageous sacrifice.
Renowned for their proven adaptability and their irrepressible sense of adventure, they embody the Coast Guard's bold spirit, infusing American Coast Guard installations in every district with their energy and enthusiasm.
This coin commemorates the unique service of Uncle Sam's favorite "kid Coasties," as they continue to "go along for the ride" in the U.S. Coast Guard.
