1. I note with pride and am pleased to commend you for your performance of duty while serving as Special Projects Division Chief in the Department of Public Affairs from 1 November 2002 to 1 September 2004.

You were responsible for communicating safe boating messages to hundreds of thousands of America’s recreational boaters who would not have otherwise been informed of the critical importance of safe boating practices. Exercising remarkable team spirit, you also supervised all public affairs aspects of the International Search and Rescue Competition, significantly helping its growth in popularity, participation, and profile between the United States and Canada.

2. You are commended for your outstanding performance of duty. By your meritorious service you have upheld the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.

3. You are hereby authorized to wear the Auxiliary Commandant’s Letter of Commendation Ribbon Bar.
