THE CITY OF SAN JACINTO
DEDICATES THIS FENWICK LIGHTHOUSE
IN HONOR OF THE U.S. COAST GUARD
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is a military branch of the United
States involved in maritime law, mariner assistance, and search & rescue.
The Coast Guard's roots lie in the Revenue Cutter Service, which was
founded on August 4, 1790, as part of the Department of the Treasury.
The Coast Guard was created in 1915 by an Act of Congress, with the merger
of the Revenue Cutter Service and the United States Lifesaving Service. The
United States Lighthouse Service was merged into the Coast Guard in 1939.
Upon a declaration of war or when the President directs, the Coast
Guard operates under the authority of the Department of the Navy.
February 25, 2003, the Coast Guard became part of the Department of
Homeland Security.
The Coast Guard's motto is Semper Paratus, meaning "Always Ready."
