The Coast Guard Foundation held its 34th An- nual Salute to the United States Coast Guard in

New York City in October, an event that raised more than $1m for the Foundation that helps

Coast Guard families. There is nothing quite like a black-tie event in New York City, and for those of you who have never attended, the Coast Guard

Foundation dinner in New York is highly recom- mended.

The event is a literal ‘Who’s Who’ drawing some of the biggest names in the maritime indus- try: ship boat owners, ship and boat builders and executives from nearly every walk of the maritime world, including the Commandant of the United

State Coast Guard Admiral Paul F. Zukunft.

But while the event is high on star power, the real focus of the event are the working crew he- roes of every day Coast Guard Life, honored with the Coast Guard Foundation Award, as well as each and every family that bene? ts from the good works of the Coast Guard Foundation, which pro- vides education, support and relief programs to bene? t Coast Guard members and their families across the country. Honored were two crews: the

Crew of Motor Life Boat 47212, Station Hum- boldt Bay, and the Crew of CG-6515, Air Station

San Franciso, both picutred below.
