Guam Legislature Adopts Resolution Honoring U.S. Coast Guard on 236th Anniversary
Summary
The 38th Guam Legislature adopted Resolution No. 205-38 LS in July 2026 recognizing the U.S. Coast Guard's 236th anniversary and commending its service to Guam, the Marianas and the broader Indo‑Pacific region. Copies of the resolution were to be transmitted to the sector commander in Guam.
Speaker Frank Boss presented Resolution No. 205-38 LS and asked Senator Sabina Perez to read the text aloud during a brief ceremony at the Guam Congress Building. "So relative to recognizing The United States Coast Guard on its 236th anniversary and commending the dedicated men and women," Perez read while detailing the service's founding and missions. The resolution, introduced by Speaker Boss and Senator Sabina Perez and other members of the 38th Guam Legislature, recognizes the Coast Guard's maritime search-and-rescue, homeland security, environmental protection and disaster-response roles and directs that copies be transmitted to Captain Jessica Wurst, commander, U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia, Sector Guam.
The resolution text cites the original authorization in 1790 of 10 revenue cutters as the service's origin and notes the Coast Guard's presence in Guam and the Marianas. It also highlights the service's response during recent typhoons, saying Coast Guard personnel "rapidly mobilized to assess maritime conditions, reopen Guam's critical ports, restore navigational safety, support emergency response operations, deliver humanitarian assistance, and assist local and federal partners in accelerating Guam's recovery." The transcript records the resolution as "duly adopted," though the proceeding did not record a roll-call or vote tally in the provided text.
