National Coast Guard Day

Aug

National Coast Guard Day, celebrated on August 4th, is a special day to honor the United States Coast Guard. The Coast Guard helps protect people at sea and ensures the waters are safe. They rescue those in trouble on the ocean, enforce laws, and help during storms and disasters. On this day, we remember their bravery and hard work. Communities might have events, parades, or ceremonies, and people often thank Coast Guard members for keeping everyone safe on the water. It's like celebrating a big team of ocean heroes who watch out for us every day.
