SEATTLE - Adm. Thad Allen, Commandant of the Coast Guard, presents Frederick F. Herzberg a Coast Guard Distinguished Public Service Award during a visit to the Coast Guard base here, March 11, 2010. Herzberg, a retired Coast Guard Captain, became a staunch advocate for the history of the Coast Guard. He lead the launch of The Foundation for Coast Guard History, a non-profit organization, over ten years ago. Using his own resources and with the help of others the Foundation captured the personal stories and anecdotes of some of the most seminal events in Coast Guard history. In addition to assisting the services' historian, the Foundation promotes and recognizes the contributions of the U.S. Coast Guard to our country.
