Our members play a significant role in bringing boaters home safely.
For every Auxiliarist who stands a communications watch, an active duty Coast Guard member is free to perform other duties. 

Auxiliary members, Nick Lomangino (left) and Greg Eaton (right), are Coast Guard qualified communications watchstanders, seen here standing radio watch at a nearby Coast Guard Station.

Did you know when a vessel in distress signals the Coast Guard, it is often a Coast Guard Auxiliary member who receives the information?
