We send you this news on the 105th Anniversary of the founding of the modern Coast Guard. On January 28, 1915, the bill was signed into law merging the United States Revenue Cutter Service and the United States Lifesaving Service into the United States Coast Guard. That is the cover story for the magazine!
You will be happy to know that the Long Blue Line is also available online at www.longblueline.org. Please note the .org suffix in the web address.
