U.S. Coast Guard Heartland members gather on the banks of the Mississippi River while the USCGC Pamlico (WLIC-800) performs a wreath laying in White Castle, Louisiana, Dec. 7, 2025. The buoy stands as a permanent memorial to the 17 lives lost when the USCGC White Alder (WAGL-541/WLM-541) sank near this same spot.
