From conducting at-sea rescues in stormy weather, combating seaborne threats, or guaranteeing the safety and health of our waterways, the Coast Guard is there, always ready. 3. Our services share a common maritime tradition, and our continued collaboration in support of our shared maritime service will, no doubt, strengthen our service to our Nation. I look forward to increased cooperation between the Navy and Coast Guard in the future. 4. The men and women of the U.S. Navy along with the citizens of America are thankful for the Coast Guard that is *Semper Paratus* to protect us from danger or defend our shores from seaborne threats.
