The First Lady Michelle Obama covers her heart while Adm. Robert J. Papp, commandant of the Coast Guard, renders a salute during the National Anthem at the commissioning ceremony of the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton on Coast Guard Island, March 31, 2012. A "commissioning" is a formal ceremony where the ship is placed into active service and begins to function as a command. The Cutter Stratton is the Coast Guard’s first National Security Cutter to be named after a woman and is the third of the planned eight NSC's.
