Hi friends, 

I’m super excited to be chatting with you today. Only 13 days until The Killing Tide releases! I’m so excited to share Finn and Gabby’s story with you. Finn is a Coast Guard Investigative Service agent. I’ve spent so much time learning about CGIS’s important work and all about the Coast Guard. I’ve been so fascinated by the vastness of their service. 

Coast Guard Facts:

Here are four cool things I learned about the Coast Guard while researching for my Coastal Guardian series: 

  1.  The Coast Guard was founded on August 4, 1790, after Congress commissioned the construction of ten ships to help enforce federal tariffs and prevent smuggling. 
  2. The Coast Guard was the first afloat armed force. Predating the Navy and most other federal government organizations, the origins of the Coast Guard date back to 1790. From our earliest days as the Revenue-Marine and the Revenue Cutter Service — to today, as the United States Coast Guard, our service has always been Semper Paratus (Always Ready) to serve our Nation.
  3. Members of the Coast Guard have served in 17 wars and conflicts throughout U.S. history.  And, in addition to protecting the coastlines of the United States, the Coast Guard serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, the Netherlands, the Arctic, the Antarctic, Bahrain … and you’ll even find them in Kansas.
  4. Annually the Coast Guard responds to approximately 20,000 Search and Rescue cases and saves about 4,000 lives.

Exciting Coast Guard News

And, just last week there was an incredible news story that showed video footage of Coast Guard servicemen leaping onto a submarine carrying 17,000 pounds of cocaine. You can watch the Guard in action in the video below. 

These brave men and women are heroes! And that’s why I’m thrilled to be able to donate 10% of the profits from #TheKillingTide to the Coast Guard Foundation. They do amazing work to support U.S. Coast Guard members and families who serve our country every day. ⠀⠀

  1. So interesting, Dani!There’s a Coast Guard station a few blocks from my house. I’ll look at them differently now.

    1. So glad you enjoyed the post, Lynn 🙂 Thanks so much for taking time to drop by. I’ve learned so much about the Coast Guard that I had no idea about. Really loving what I’ve learned.
