Learn about the history of America’s oldest seagoing service from retired Captain Greg Ketchen
Massachusetts is the birthplace of the Coast Guard, America’s oldest seagoing service. It has an exceptionally rich history and those who have served in the Coast Guard here in Massachusetts have made significant contributions to that history. This federal service has evolved into an organization with dozens of missions, some of which may surprise. Most are aware of the role of Coast Guard men and women as first responders, law enforcement officers and boating safety experts but few know that some are oceanographers, combat veterans, arctic explorers and even astronauts. Come and learn more in this virtual talk from retired Captain Greg Ketchen.
