Semper Paratus - Always Ready (USCG's motto)
On this date, August 4th, in 1790, the U.S Coast Guard, then called the 'Revenue Cutter Service,' was founded. Led by Alexander Hamilton the USCG was set-up to enforce the first tariff / import tax laws passed by the U.S. Congress. Since that time, the U.S. Coast Guard's responsibilities have included a variety of missions - including amphibious attacks during World War II, stopping drug-trafficking, saving boater's lives, and protecting our homeland shores.
