This month marks the 15th birthday for the SL Coast Guard and USCG 230th. For many years now, SL Coast Guard has celebrated their birthday and the US Coast Guards birthday; it is an Honor and a Privileged to celebrate with them. Happy Birthday!.

ENS Deej Kasshiki

There are many booths decorated in the group’s theme; it belongs to lined up in a horseshoe shape along the pier. It is a pleasure to see the creative minds that come together to promote the SL Coast Guard and the US Coast Guard Birthday; this shows that if you are not able to join the Coast Guard in real life, you can participate in Second Life. The many guardians who participate are amazing and talented people from all over the world who come together and share their knowledge and camaraderie, offering comfort when needed and offering support. Teamwork is much promoted and executed amongst the coasties, and they do it so well. The SL Coast Guards join together like a family, I for one and thankful and blessed to be part of such a fantastic group of people who put in the effort to make SL Coast Guard the best group possible in SL. Let’s work hard to keep SL Coast Guard alive and have many more birthdays.
Happy 15th Birthday SL Coast Guard
