Vice Adm. Steven Poulin, commander, Coast Guard Atlantic Area, and Master Chief Petty Officer Devin Spencer, command master chief Atlantic Area, share their thoughts on regional efforts and celebrating this holiday season, Nov. 20, 2020, from Portsmouth, Virginia.
Despite the pandemic, It's been a tough year. Most of us have gone through periods of isolation or lockdown as well as a consistent demand for Coast Guard operations. COVID has changed the way many of us recharge and socialize. Winter and the holidays are historically a time to recharge and renew. While some celebrations may be modified, we encourage crews to take this time with their loved ones to do just that. Please continue to make smart choices that reduce risk as you celebrate, whether next week or after; as we know, some must stand the watch.

Our heartfelt gratitude to all our personnel, their families, and our communities for their ongoing effort and support.
