The Postal Service has released a video about its new U.S. Coast Guard Academy stamp, which honors the school’s 150th anniversary
Located in New London, CT, the academy provides cadets with the skills and experiences they need to safeguard America’s waterways and maritime infrastructure. Graduates commit to at least five years of service and earn both a bachelor’s degree and a commission as an ensign in the U.S. Coast Guard.
The stamp depicts two iconic U.S. Coast Guard vessels: the USCGC Eagle, a tall sailing ship used for training, and the USCGC Bertholf, a modern Legend-class vessel which deploys advanced technology against trafficking and other criminal activity.
The 3-minute video features archival footage and is narrated by Marc McCrery, USPS customer experience vice president. It also features interviews with U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Greg Rothrock, the academy’s superintendent, and Capt. Kristopher Ensley, the commanding officer of the USCGC Eagle.
