The Coast Guard Foundation is privileged to support the men and women of the Coast Guard’s Fourteenth District.

The dinner is chaired by Dale Sause and will include an address by Admiral Paul Zukunft, commandant of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard will also be represented by RADM Vincent Atkins, commander, Fourteenth Coast Guard District. 

 

With more than 1,150 active duty, 150 reserve, 80 civilian, and 400 Auxiliary men and women, the Fourteenth District, boasts the Coast Guard’s largest area of responsibility. The district covers more than 12.2 million square miles of land and sea, with units on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, and in American Samoa, Saipan, Guam, Singapore and Japan. 

 

The Fourteenth District’s boundaries of responsibility stretch from the Hawaiian Islands and across most of the Central and Western Pacific. The District Commander oversees 25 operational units ashore and afloat throughout the Pacific, which regularly perform missions in maritime safety, protection of natural resources, maritime security, homeland security, and national defense. 

 

Every week on average, Fourteenth District personnel save two lives, respond to 20 vessels in distress, save $60,000 in property, respond to five oil spills and defend vital national interests. The Coast Guard ensures the safety and full economic availability of Pacific ports. Regulating access to vessels and waterfront facilities, the Coast Guard enforces laws governing the security of ports and anchorages, and supervises the handling of dangerous cargo. 

 

For 45 years, the Coast Guard Foundation has been committed to inspiring leadership, education and a proud legacy of service to our nation by supporting the men and women of the United States Coast Guard. The Foundation provides college scholarships to enlisted members, their spouses and their children, scholarships and support for families of Coast Guard members lost in the line of duty, and support for morale programs, including funding recreation, exercise and family-­‐oriented facilities.
