"Tim K" wrote in message om... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message rthlink.net... Maybe. When the President is aboard a military aircraft, the name of the military service is stated, followed by the word "One." But is the USCG truly a military service? While it has the look and feel of the military, it isn't part of the Department of Defense. Correct, up to a point: The USCG is part of the Dept. of Homeland Security, formerly part of the Dept. of Transportation. However it is a military (i.e. armed forces) service. Coast Guardsmen fought on D-Day and in Vietnam, many lost their lives. The Coast Guard also maintains that they were present as an armed force in the pre-revolutionary times before the Army and the Navy.

The "Coast Guard" name came in 1915 from the consolidation of the Revenue Cutter Service and the Life Saving Service.
