For eight years, this Revenue Cutter Service served as the young nation's only armed force at sea, patrolling the coastline, fighting piracy, and enforcing the abolition of the slave trade until Congress established the Department of the Navy in 1798. On 28 January 1915, Congress officially created the United States Coast Guard by merging the Revenue Cutter Service with the U.S. Life-Saving Service, combining maritime law enforcement with humanitarian rescue into a single unified force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coast Guard's mission expanded through a series of strategic consolidations—absorbing the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1939 and the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation in 1946—transforming it into the most versatile maritime force in the world. In wartime, the Coast Guard operates under the Department of the Navy, and its members have served with distinction in every major American conflict. During World War II, Coast Guardsmen manned landing craft at Normandy on D-Day, protected transatlantic convoys from German U-boats, and rescued thousands of survivors from torpedoed vessels. Today, the Coast Guard operates as one of the five Armed Services of the United States under the Department of Homeland Security, comprising approximately 42,000 active-duty members, 243 cutters, 201 aircraft, and over 1,600 boats. The service protects more than 100,000 miles of coastline and 4.5 million square miles of ocean, conducting missions ranging from search and rescue and drug interdiction to environmental protection, maritime law enforcement, and homeland security.

New London, Connecticut, since 1876.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut is the smallest and most specialized of America's five federal service academies — the others being USNA, USMA, USAFA, and USMMA. Founded in 1876 as the \"School of Instruction of the Revenue Cutter Service,\" the Academy began with nine cadets sailing aboard the topsail schooner Dobbin from Baltimore on a two-year training voyage. The Academy moved ashore to Fort Trumbull in New London in 1910 and relocated to its current location two miles up the Thames River in 1932. The motto is \"Scientiæ Cedit Mare\" — Latin for \"The Sea Yields to Knowledge\" — paired with the Coast Guard's broader \"Semper Paratus\" (Always Ready) and the Academy's honor concept: \"Who Lives Here Reveres Honor, Honors Duty.\" The Academy mascot is Objee the Black Bear, adopted in 1926, and a live bear cub was kept on campus for over 50 years until 1984. The Academy's training ship is the USCGC Eagle (WIX-327), seized as a war prize from Nazi Germany after WWII and brought to New London in 1946 — the three-masted barque is still where every USCGA cadet learns to handle a square-rigged tall ship under sail. This vinyl sticker is for every Bear, every Eagle cadet, every USCGA grad. Outdoor-grade vinyl, sharp die-cut edge, ready to ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadets and alumni, USCG officers and enlisted personnel, USCGC Eagle crew and sail-training graduates, federal service academy heritage collectors, Coast Guard families, New London Connecticut natives, and Bears fans of every generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUSCGA — Scientiæ Cedit Mare, Bears Aboard, Semper Paratus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952499388525,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/PRODUCTIMAGES_94.png?v=1775056997"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/collections\/Coast_Guard_Blue_940x_17627c6f-83d3-4ac6-8e5f-2b2f4c3dc815.png?v=1555810557","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/collections\/coast-guard\/vt-3.oembed","provider":"MarinePatches.com - Custom Patches, Military and Law Enforcement","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
