Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting with the NNOA celebrating 50 years of uniting our sea services, & Forging into the Future. NNOA is at the forefront of modeling the way for other Affinity Groups to form & evolve. #NNOA50 #TBT

Today’s #WhatsGoodWednesday highlights #AUX Amber Porter of USCG Sector St Pete. She earned Pollution Responder quals & 4 other pollution & ICS quals, organized an underway SAR drone demo for 12 children of fallen Veterans, & coordinated a 9/11 memorial stair climb event. BZ!🇺🇸

Let us honor & remember those we lost & 1st responders & individuals who came together to save others on that fateful day; including USCGR MK1 Jeff Palazzo PS2 Vincent Danz, & AUX Gregory Sikorsky, (FDNY & NYPD), & LCDR Gilbert Granados, who was working in the WTC #NeverForget🇺🇸

As we commemorate National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we pause to remember and honor those who were held as prisoners of war as well as those who remain missing in action. You are not forgotten.
