GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  On behalf of all Marines, I am honored to congratulate the men and women of the United States Coast Guard on your 227th anniversary.
2.  Since 4 August 1790, our Nation's oldest continuous seagoing service has been the premier force in maritime safety, security and stewardship.  Today you continue your noble mission of saving lives, protecting American coasts and ports, and guarding U.S. interests overseas.  Throughout your esteemed history, in times of war and peace, you have held fast to your core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty.  Marines are proud of the Coast Guard's impressive legacy of service to our great Nation.
3.  As you celebrate your anniversary, know that Marines are grateful for your service and dedication.
