Today, we gathered for a special Coast Guard Week tradition - the Blessing of the Fleet - to offer prayers for the safety and protection of our crews, vessels, and families.
Sector Chaplain Richard Min led this annual, cherished ceremony, offering prayers and blessings for all units and the vessels that carry them on their missions.
We began by observing Colors, then paused for a moment of silence to honor 9/11 heroes Vincent Danz and Jeffrey Palazzo, who were Coast Guard Reservists and have Guam-based Fast Response Cutters named in their honor.
Today, and every day, we honor the men and women who answer the call and take to the seas to safeguard Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the maritime interests of the Blue Pacific.
