As A USCG VETERAN…

I’ve noticed over the years there isn’t enough Coast Guard apparel readily available unless you go to the exchange or into a novelty store. Of course, you always see the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Often times, the Coast Guard is left out of the trendy foursome altogether. Well, I’m hoping to change that. This website is dedicated to all of my shipmates, past, present and future, who risk their lives and serve their country with honor, respect and devotion to duty. To the guardians of our seas and shores, and those who are Always Ready.

The Logo…

I’ve always been fascinated with the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of our oceans measuring over 36,000 feet deep - 6000 fathoms! This is deep enough to submerge Mt. Everest from base to peak with over a mile to spare! The “V” shape in the logo represents the trench from the surface of the water to the unimaginable bottom of the ocean floor. The diagonal stripes inside of the “V” are the always recognizable Coast Guard racing stripes that are emblazoned on nearly all Coast Guard boats, ships and aircraft. Finally, the colors chosen are Coast Guard Blue and Coast Guard Red as per COMDTINST M5200.14A.
