The following is a reprint of an article which originally appeared in the Coast Guard Reservist Magazine.
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
