Linda Fagan, Commandant of the Coast Guard, officiated the symbolic \u201ckeel-laying\u201d ceremony \u2014 which traditionally marks the start of cutter\u2019s construction \u2014 for the museum\u2019s main building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday was a beautiful day in New London and for the Coast Guard,\u201d Fagan said in a release. \u201cI am excited about the National Coast Guard Museum, a place where we can share our history and stories with the American public. I appreciate the many people who worked hard to get us here, and I can\u2019t wait to see this new museum take shape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2022\/07\/27\/recruitment-is-challenging-the-coast-guard-commandant-says\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fagain2.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Recruitment is challenging the Coast Guard, commandant says<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Retention is not a challenge right now for the Coast Guard, but the service is facing a recruitment dilemma.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of local and national government officials attended the celebration of the project designed to honor the legacy and heritage of the Coast Guard\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycg.uscg.mil\/News\/Article\/3116155\/the-coast-guard-celebrates-232-years-of-service\/\">230-plus-year history<\/a>, including Rep.

Safety, security and stewardship are at the heart of the museum, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycg.uscg.mil\/News\/Article\/3125760\/commandant-to-officiate-keel-laying-ceremony-for-the-national-coast-guard-museum\/\">service news hub post<\/a>, while exhibits will focus on themes like \u201cdefenders of our nation, enforcers on the seas, lifesavers around the globe, champions of commerce and protectors of the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Included in the experience will be a STEM Discovery Center that will offer a unique, interactive activities for visitors. Additionally, a Medal of Honor posthumously awarded to Signalman First Class Douglas Munro, the only Coast Guardsman to receive the decoration, is expected to be on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCreating a national-level museum takes years of dedicated efforts to make sure we honor this wonderful service appropriately,\u201d museum director Elizabeth Varner said in a release. \u201cWatching the museum come to life with major milestones, such as today\u2019s ceremony, is not only rewarding for those of us directly involved, it\u2019s a great accomplishment for every Coast Guard member and the country they serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with Space Force, the Coast Guard is currently the only service without its own national museum.
