ALCOAST 484/05 – Cost Guard Auxiliary Hurricane Response

In the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Team Coast Guard has risen
to meet the many challenges in the storm ravaged gulf coast. Whether
conducting over 30,000 search and rescue cases or providing personnel to
assist in the recovery efforts, Team Coast Guard is America's maritime
lifesaver.   Active duty, reserve and civilian components of Team Coast
Guard would not have been able to conduct relief efforts without the
unwavering support of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.   Your dedicated volunteer
service to the Coast Guard, the Department of Homeland Security, and this
nation is nothing less than outstanding. Your continuing support of Coast
Guard missions in the eighth district area of responsibility including
Auxiliary Aviation logistical flights, surface patrols, watchstander
augmentation, support of Coast Guard families, and housing Coast Guard
personnel detailed to the effected area is invaluable. Volunteering for the
federal emergency management agency's disaster assistance programs
highlights the Auxiliary's selfless support of the largest relief effort in
our history. You are directly impacting the lives of fellow Americans. They
look to you for guidance, assistance, and, most importantly, hope. 

On behalf of the men and women of the Coast Guard, thank you for your
dedicated, selfless service. 

Adm Thomas H. Collins, Commandant
