A photograph of 105-year-old Dorothy Stratton who established the Coast Guard Women Reserve which was nickname "SPARs," an acronym representing the Coast Guard motto, "Semper Paratus Always Ready." The centenarian is wearing a Coast Guard cardigan sweater with officer shoulder boards with gold stripes. SPARs were not allowed to wear gold stripes during World War II, and that's all Stratton wanted for her 105th birthday. Photo by Rudi Williams
