– they exhibit neoteny, meaning they reach sexual maturity without going through metamorphosis
– they are capable of regenerating lost limbs, and so are frequently subjects of scientific experiments
– they’re critically endangered and unbelievably adorable

U.S. Marines on Guam salute the U.S. Coast Guard on Coast Guard Day

The U.S. Marines salute the U.S. Coast Guard after the fury of battle had subsided and the Japanese on Guam had been defeated. “They (the Coast Guard) Put Us Here and We Intend to Stay” is the way the Marines felt about it., ca. 08/1944

The precursor to the Coast Guard, the United States Revenue Cutter Service, was established under the Department of Treasury by Alexander Hamilton on August 4, 1790, now commemorated as Coast Guard Day.
