Coast Guard Essay Contest
The Challenge:
Advance new thinking about the U.S. Coast Guard's critical role in the 21st century. No issue is too big or too narrow as long as it makes the Coast Guard stronger. This does not mean authors cannot be critical and take on conventional wisdom and current practices. In fact, we encourage you to push the "dare factor."
