I just ended a busy day meeting with our people in Ballston, VA: The Coast Guard Criminal Investigative Service, the Deployable Operations Group, the National Pollution Funds Center, and the Personnel Command. I held an All Hands for all the units and met individually with their leadership teams. I spoke at the National Cargo Bureau Luncheon about the progress we have made in the last year with outreach to our Marine Safety partners. Tonight I am headed to the Lone Sailor Awards Banquet where Arnold Palmer will be honored for his service in the Coast Guard in World War II. I appreciate all the comments received thus far and will be posting later this evening or in the morning with some feedback. Keep the comments coming, they are important.
