Respect Our Shipmates: Year of the Coast Guard Family

Address, 2011 will be the Year of the Coast Guard Family. Together
we will improve the quality of life for our Coast Guard members and
military families. ADM Robert Papp
Strengthening Our Military Families -
Meeting America's Commitment
The President has made the care and support of military families a top
national security policy priority. We recognize that military families come
from the active duty Armed Forces, the National Guard, and the Reserves.
They support and sustain troops fighting to defend the Nation, they care for
our wounded warriors, and they survive our fallen heroes.
The well-being of military families is an important indicator of the
well-being of the overall force. At a time when America is at war and
placing considerable, sustained demands on its troops and their families, it
is especially important to address the family, home, and community
challenges facing our all-volunteer force. For years to come, military
families and Veterans will continue to face unique challenges, and at the
same time will also have great potential to continue contributing to our
communities and country.
