Coast Guard Representative Thanks Guam, Highlights Regional Missions and Disaster Response
Summary
A Coast Guard representative thanked the Guam Legislature for the resolution, recalled service on the island, and underscored partnerships with local agencies and the service's role in search-and-rescue and disaster response across the Indo‑Pacific.
Cam Hirsch, a Coast Guard representative called forward during the ceremony, thanked the Legislature for the resolution and described the service's long-standing presence in Guam. "I can't thank you enough," Hirsch said, adding that the Coast Guard has been stationed in Guam for decades and works closely with local partners. He emphasized the range of Coast Guard missions and their reliance on cooperation with island agencies.
Hirsch listed local partners the Coast Guard routinely works with, saying the list "goes on and on" and naming Guam Fire, Guam Police, Guam Customs, Port Police and the National Weather Service as collaborators on operations and disaster response. He also described Guam as "a tight knit community" where the Coast Guard depends on local support to carry out lifesaving missions. The ceremony concluded with a Coast Guard member identified as Master Chief leading the service song and a short photo opportunity.
