SUBJ: STATE OF THE COAST GUARD ADDRESS NOW ONLINE
1. EARLIER TODAY, IT WAS MY HONOR TO PROVIDE MY FIRST STATE OF THE
COAST GUARD ADDRESS. I WAS PROUD TO HAVE MANY MEMBERS OF THE COAST
GUARD FAMILY AT THE ADDRESS INCLUDING FORMER COMMANDANT'S ADMIRAL
JAMES GRACEY AND ADMIRAL BOB KRAMEK. IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
CATCH-UP WITH SOME OLD SHIPMATES, TAKE A FIX ON THE COAST GUARD AND
CHART THE COURSE AHEAD.

TO INFORM YOU THAT THE BROADCAST IS NOW AVAILABLE ON LINE AT
