Under his leadership. the men and women of the Coast Guard continue to examine and improve upon the Coast Guards marine safety role. Having served in the Coast Guard and Reserve. I know the armed service is unique because of its structure and flexibility. On a daily basis. Coast Guard men and women focus on drug interdiction. environmental protection. migrant interdiction. port security. search and rescue. homeland security. and maritime safety. Each of these roles. in my opinion. complements the others. I continue to support efforts to provide stakeholders an opportunity to voice their concerns. provide constructive feedback. and work together to improve the marine safety aspect of the Coast Guard.
