Coast Guard Gets New Memorial to Fallen Enlisted Personnel

The Coast Guard's Cape May Training Center is getting a new monument: the service's only memorial dedicated to enlisted men and women who have died in the line of duty. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz joined the center's commanding officer, Capt. Owen Gibbons, in dedicating the Coast Guard Enlisted Memorial on April 27 in New Jersey. The memorial — three granite walls etched with the names of 1,500 service members, centered around a pyramid topped with a bronze flame — is located on the training center's parade field.
