Symbolism of the U.S. Coast Guard Flag
The official United States Coast Guard flag features a dark blue Great Seal of the United States surrounded by 13 stars representing the original colonies. The red lettering “United States Coast Guard” and founding year “1790” symbolize the service’s long-standing mission of protection and rescue. The motto “Semper Paratus” — Always Ready — reflects the enduring readiness of America’s maritime defenders.
