On June 27th Flotilla 6 participated in the 70th anniversary of the USCG Auxiliary ceremony in New York harbor. Quite a few Auxiliary, active duty Coast Guard and
NY Police boats were in attendance as former NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelley, his wife Veronica (a former Coastie), and the Director of the Auxiliary made congratulatory remarks. A "Pass in Review" flotilla by the Long Splice and the Lady B in front of the Statue of Liberty completed the ceremony.
In attendance aboard the Semper Paratus were Dick Horton, Vinny Camera and Jeff Grossman. To see a photos as the day unfolded taken by flotilla members, navigate to the albums page or click here.

I received an email regarding the 'Coast Guard Channel,' a site with lots of video and information dedicated solely to the USCG. This may be of interest to our readers, so I'll add a permanent link on the links page. Let me know what you think.
Also, there is an upcoming AUXCOM course, but complete details with regard to time and location are not yet finalized. Please let Dick Horton know if you are interested through the appropriate channels.
