A Ripple in the Pacific: From Saipan to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and back
09/29/2023 10:24 PM EDT

In the Pacific's azure expanse, four young men from Saipan are charting a unique course. Cadets Genzo Gonzales, Seiji Gonzales, Kyle San Nicolas, and Noah Mesa of the U.S. U.S. Coast Guard Academy are bridging their love for the sea and cultural roots to the prestige of one of America's most renowned maritime institutions. This summer, they journeyed back to their home waters, not as ordinary islanders but as burgeoning U.S. Coast Guard officers poised to reshape their maritime communities.

Bridging their love for the sea and cultural roots to the prestige of one of America's most renowned maritime institutions, the cadets spent their summer away in Guam. Cadet Noah Mesa also spent the summer in Guam but was underway on the USCGC Oliver Henry at the time of this photo. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Chief Warrant Officer Sara Muir)
