The Coast Guard Auxiliary, the service’s corps of dedicated volunteers, assists in many ways including giving courses in boating safety and aiding in search and rescue. One volunteer from the Auxiliary’s 30,000 members even serves as a bugler with the Coast Guard Honor Guard. The Auxiliary was established in 1939. Today, its members volunteer millions of hours of service annually.
