Coast Guard Academy to honor Democratic Rep. William D. Delahunt of Mass.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - The U.S. Coast Guard Academy Corps of Cadets is scheduled to honor retiring Democratic Rep. William D. Delahunt, 10th Congressional District of Massachusetts, during a regimental review Friday at 4 p.m. on the Washington Parade Field at the academy here.

As founder and Co-Chair of the Coast Guard Caucus, Congressman Delahunt has been a supporter of the Coast Guard. Having served as a radarman in the Coast Guard Reserves from 1963 to 1971, one of his early initiatives during his first term in office was to create a bipartisan Coast Guard Caucus. The group advocates for the necessary appropriations and statutory authorities to enable the Coast Guard to meet its maritime safety and security missions.

Any media interested in attending should contact Academy Public Affairs at 860-444-8270.
