Today, we honor the veterans who answered the call to serve our country.
For the U.S. Coast Guard and every branch of our armed forces, that commitment to service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.
To every veteran who protected our shores, saved lives, and kept our nation safe both here and abroad: thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Happy Veterans Day.

The patriots of @USCG are on the front lines of protecting our borders at sea and in the air.
During my visit to HITRON in Jacksonville, I got to see firsthand the world-class training and equipment that our Coasties use to interdict drug vessels trying to smuggle dangerous drugs to our shores. Thanks to @POTUS Trump’s leadership, our borders are stronger than ever before – by land, by sea, and by air.
This wouldn’t be possible without the brave men and women of the United States Coast Guard.

Rescue Swimmer Josh Law embodies the service, strength, and will that define the members of @USCG.
For two hours straight, Law swam through the night in turbulent dark waters off the coast of California rescuing 16 migrants from a capsized vessel attempting to enter the U.S. from Mexico.
While many were rescued thanks to Law’s heroic efforts, 11 individuals from the vessel were never found. Human smugglers DO NOT care about migrants, and the journey by sea remains dangerous.
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL JOURNEY.
U.S. Coast Guard retweeted
The @USCG HITRON helicopter based interdiction unit is one of the most effective counter smuggling units of all time.
By shooting out the engines of smuggler vessels, they are able to stop MASSIVE amounts of drugs from entering our country.
@POTUS has supercharged the Coast Guard with billions in new investments, and we will continue delivering results with this new funding.
