A Coast Guard crewmember from Aids to Navigation Team Puget Sound, in Seattle, climbs a ladder in order to service a fixed light beacon near North Swinomish Channel, Aug. 17, 2016.

Servicing Aids to Navigation is not a glamorous job and isn’t often highlighted, but it is vitally critical in the prevention of search and rescue cases our Coast Guard men and women perform daily.
