U.S. Coast Guard Inspirational Video 

I made an updated version of this video, check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhlAnze61Lg.html

I was in the coast guard for 10 years and I enjoyed every minute of it. I look back on it now and all of us are chosen angles and guardian of the seas. Coast guard men and women are very humble and devoted.

one of the most underrated institutions in the whole US .

I did a stint in the Army in the early 90's. My biggest regret in my professional life is not joining the Coast Guard. What fantastic people doing a noble job.

Wow...that sums up my 30 year career in the USCG...aviator who never let fear control me or my dreams...I achieved far beyond my dreams and goals. Thank you for that awesome video!

Listen to every word within this video, regardless of who you are, what your do, how old or young you are. There is truth and guidance here that can help make you life full, special and inspirational to all, especially to yourself!

My father was in the coast guard for 13 years...I want to be in the U.S.C.G just like him after i graduate high school! Love this video very inspirational.

I AM IN THE U.S COAST GUARD AND I LOVE IT!!!!!

I’m in the Coast Guard and I’ll say is the best branch of all, we do more than any other, ever since we are small we have to learn other jobs. I’m a Mechanical Engineer(That’s my main job) and I got qualified in Damage Control, got trained in First Aid, later on I can get my EMT qualification, got qualified as a firefighting, I’m a translator, I’ll get qualified as a boat crew member, I’ll get the bording team member qualification, after that I’ll be sent to BO(Boarding Officer School), and I’ll get Boat Engineer for small boats/interceptors. And Qualifications go on. In the navy or other branch you are assigned to only one specific job and that’s it. I’m proud to be a coastie, truly am. Saving lives and do drug interdictions is the best rewarding things ever.

Happy 229th birthday to the United States Coast Guard! On August 4th, 1790, President George Washington signed the Tariff Act that authorized the construction of ten vessels, called cutters that were to be used to enforce federal tariffs and prevent smuggling. This system of cutters was later named the Revenue Cutter service, and in the following decades it gained more tasks and responsibilities. The U.S. Coast Guard was 'officially formed in 1915, when the RCS was merged with the U.S. Life Saving Service. In 1939, the Lighthouse Service was added to the USCG, and in 1946, congress permanently transferred the Commerce Department's Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation to the Coast Guard, putting merchant marine licensing and merchant vessel safety under its control. In 1967 the USCG was transferred to the Department of Transportation, and then to the Department of Homeland Security in 2003, where it currently serves. The men and women of the United States Coast Guard are ready to perform any task that is asked of them, at any time. As I type this, an entire network of individuals is ensuring the safety and security of our nation, and for that I am thankful. Semper Paratus.

I decided at 53 to become a helicopter pilot. Thank You for making this video. You will change the lives of people you'll never meet. Good Job!

I wish that the Coast Guard was more appreciated, my friend who is in the Coast Guard is stationed in Taiwan right now

Thanks for the inspirational video. My goal is to be a rescue swimmer. I test soon at Meps.

I go off to bootcamp in 7 weeks this truly determined me to strive to be the greatest member I can💪🏼

I needed this video. I've decided to not be afraid and join the coast guard.

I was the vfx Supervisor and second unit director of the movie "The Guardian" So I got to see most of it working great experience.

“We’re the Coast guard, people don’t appreciate us till they need us” Kevin Costner the guardian

Have the courage to live your dreams. This is a great and very inspirational video. Thank you.

I am a retired Firefighter/Paramedic. I currently teach in the Paramedic program at a local community college. I will be using your video during orientation and at various stages of their education. Maybe some will go on to be Coast Guard but mainly I just want to instill a sense of pride in ownership and the ability that each one of us has if we don't let fear overwhelm us. This video makes me wish I wasn't about to turn 60 so I could take a crack at being a Rescue Swimmer. I have listened to this video at least once a day since I found it. It keeps me motivated and helps me remember that 60 is just a number. Semper Paratus, well done.

I have alwase wanted to join the coast guard and now I am enlisting

Nice! I did the free fall at 1:47. Everyday is a dream when you live it!

Loved my 8 years in the Coast Guard. The experience and knowledge acquired is something I'll carry with me the rest of my life. Would do it all over again. Semper Paratus!

Kindness in all we do is the way.

Served 8 years, wish it could have been more. I love the Coast Guard

Damn. I'm still 16, but ever since I laid eyes on a helicopter, it's been my dream. I've never stopped hoping for that to become a reality someday. Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot. Coast Guard is something I've always wanted to do. Hopefully I'll make it one day

I am not in the coast guard, but i thank every men and women like you that spend your lives trying to save others.

Friends & relatives have been telling me to join ever since graduating high school... 10 years later I've enlisted to take on the challenge of becoming a rescue swimmer, and can't be any more excited.

Praying this video never goes away

Hello Liam's, I just stumbled upon your video and I want to thank you for it. I was in the Guard for 13 years after serving 9 in the Air Force. I retired as an AT, (E-7 Avation Electronics Technician ). My last posting was at the Electronics Technician School at Elizabeth City, NC. as the senior chief. During my time in the Guard I was stationed at Elizabeth City Air station, B school at Millington Navy Station, New Orleans Air station, Cape Cod Air station. I enjoyed my time in the Guard, because I didn't do the same thing two days in a row. I have jumped out of the chopper's, stood at the rear end of a C-130 throwing out flares, in a HU-16 doing the same for all kinds of hours and missions. Spent many hours as a radio operator and navigator. Repaired the electronics equipment for the AC. I hope you keep up the good work and tell any young person, male or female, about the Coast Guard. I talk to any and all about the Guard that would/will listen.

Liam THIS IS AMAZING! THis is what i plan on doing with my life, i am a freshman and highschool who is also taking video production as well. Great Job brotha!!

Liam Hughes THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN) 🇺🇸THANKS AGAIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸

GO COAST GUARD!! I’m so proud I served!

Thank you for this video it makes me feel better about myself. If I was younger, heck I would join. Thank you for your service too. Semper Paratus, always! God Bless everybody in the United States Coast Guard! :)

I’ve been considering joining for a few years now. Yesterday I contacted a recruiter and hope I can get in. I’m a little nervous but I feel the challenge will make me a better person and I can finally do something that I’ve been really interested in doing.

Nicely done! SEMPER PARATUS!

Every word of this video rings true. The price you gotta pay for the games you gotta play.

The human spirit is powerful, especially in the face of danger! The rest of America needs to learn from this video!

I feel a lot better right now. Damn, I shoulda joined the Coast Guard as a pilot after getting my chemistry degree!!

Alan Watts and a CG video? Nice touch.😉 BZ from an old Coastie.

Thank you! I’m a guardian myself! This is amazing!!! Thank you for giving me a boost!

My aunt serves in the US coast guard currently, this video inspired me to join. I want to do helicopter rescue

This video is perfect

Awesome video! Keep it up!!!!

If that video was taken on hull number 624 4 years ago I was up there driving the boat when this happened!

Salute to the brave men and women of US coastguard, "so others may live"

Great video... although most was of helos and rescue swimmers...the U.S. Coast Guard is comprised of so much more..... flew in HH-52s "70 to 74" Semper Paratus !

The problem I had was someone with very big money followed me and gave me a hard problems and payed to give others hard problems or turn them against me.I used to try to meet problems head on,but these people would try to make the innocent man the fall guy.Reason being those in a real powerful position failed to act.So I try to avoid unnecessary drama ,mind my buissiness,most people are just jelouse or ugly on the inside and out .So in life do what you can when you can try to make your life happier and better I'm trying...god bless...

Can someone tell me who the speakers are in this video? Looking for some type of podcasts, and I didn't know if one of the speakers would have one. LOVE THIS VIDEO!!

I'm a Flight Instructor for fixed wing, but I really want to fly helicopters for SAR and Disaster Aid. Great video!! :)

This is even better than the Army weakass ads.

Anjos da vida mais bravos que o mar

I'm 6ft4 265lbs and depressed, my goal is to in 4 months be 200lbs, pass the asvab and be on my way to Cape May new Jersey to bootcamp. And this is only the beginning only you can change your life and become a better individual I WILL. Semper paratus⚓

Man I want to be in the U.S. Coast Guard but I don't know if I have what it takes to be brave and strong

To anyone who wants to join but a little nervous to fail: I got sent to RAMP in week 4, failed RAMP, got reverted 2 weeks back, made it all the way to week 6, got reverted 2 weeks back again and it felt I’d never make it. But when I say everything they do is for a reason - I truly mean that. Because I was able to help many people in my company due to how long I was there. It’s embarrassing, but if you get reverted it’s only to sharpen you and make the people around you stronger when you’re finally there. Don’t give up. Take it one day at a time.

Here I am before I’m a rescue swimmer, I will make it , mark my words

I’ve always wanted to join the US military branch but I don’t have the heart to hold a gun with the intention of harming someone if the time comes, so i’ve been looking into the CG and i am waiting until high school is over so i can join. i am still inexperienced with how it works but I have high goals into becoming a big part of it

go stevo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there, could you tell me what videos you took the audios? I am curious to know who are these people! Congrats on the video! Gave me goosebumps! Brilliant job!

On my way to joining the Coast Guard! Wanna be a badass coastie that hunts drug smugglers

You have to go out, you don't have to come back

*Semper paratus*

I was wanting to join the us marines. But I don't think I'll be able to do to a injury that happened to me when I was a child. I lost almost all my vision in my left eye. I'm still going to try out for it. I will try my best. I hope they will give me a chance. I just want to make something of myself. I want to do this because I want to make my family proud. But deep down I want that satisfaction in myself. I pray they'll try me out. I hope to surprise them of what I can do. Ill give them my all. And I hope they'll can see a marine in me.

This gave me my life back the inspiration thanks brother I will be a police officer
