USCG Reserve Heritage

Come with us as we stroll down memory lane. Over the years, The Reservist has accumulated a lot of photos. Some are famous, some are not.

We went back and looked through our entire photo archive. In the following pages you’ll have a small peek at what we found. While we found a lot of great photographs, we didn’t find a lot of cutline information. For that we apologize to you the reader as well as the photographers.

We divided the photos  by decades starting in the 1940’s when the idea of the Coast Guard Reserve began.

You will see a look at the evolution of a service from its humble beginnings until the turn of the century.

Enjoy the journey. We did.

Some of the photos seen below were not published in the hard copy of the magazine due to space constraints.
