Friends and Family, Today was a great day as I presided over the graduation of Juliett-183. It was bittersweet for me, as it is my final graduation before my change of command next week and reassignment to Coast Guard Headquarters. The company rewarded me with their own challenge coin, and I will cherish it always. I talked at graduation about the challenges ahead for these newest Guardians and our Coast Guard. We're sending ships, aircraft and people from all over the Coast Guard to the Gulf of Mexico to help contain and cleanup the environment. Our Coast Guard is part of a crew of more than 31,000 men and women from around the government, the region, various industries and volunteers all working to make the situation better. Never before have our graduates been more necessary to our Coast Guard and our country. Thanks to everyone, fair winds and following seas. v/r Cari Batson Thomas, RDML Commanding Officer Training Center Cape May "Commitment, Courage, Character"
