Happy 4th of July! Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish. The men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard remain on watch across our borders, where defense of America begins. As the nation's finest maritime fighting force, we are applying our full range of capabilities to control, secure, and defend our borders and maritime approaches. We continue operations to facilitate commerce vital to economic security and strategic mobility, safeguarding a Marine Transportation System that is instrumental in restoring U.S. maritime dominance.

As an Armed Service, we are proud to stand alongside our fellow servicemembers, and extend our gratitude to all who have dedicated their lives to defending our nation. Your service and sacrifice make our freedom possible.

This holiday, please remember to celebrate responsibly and stay safe on the water.

From the U.S. Coast Guard, have a safe and happy Independence Day!
