Today marks the 225th anniversary of the creation of the US Coast Guard.
One of the five service branches in the US military, the Coast Guard is responsible for maritime rescue, drug interdiction, smuggling prevention, and humanitarian aid distribution. Tracing its history to August 4, 1790, the Coast Guard now operates throughout US internal waterways, the coasts, and even distant international waters.
In honor of the Coast Guard's 225 years of service, we have collected some of the most amazing images of them in a range of missions.
