"It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it"

"The American public counts on us to remain "Always Ready" to defend our Nation, safeguard our citizens and facilitate our economy - just as we've done for nearly 230 years.  This is why we serve!"       

ADM Karl Schultz

As a veteran of the United Stations Coast Guard, Elbin understands the importance of the Coast Guard museum and Elbin Art proudly donates to the Coast Guard Museum effort.

Since its inception in 1790, the USCG has tirelessly answered the call to duty, saving lives, enforcing maritime law, combating terrorism, facilitating commerce and protecting the environment. The vital responsibilities of the USCG are carried out by highly trained men and women who perform these missions with honor, respect, and devotion to duty. Yet, the Coast Guard is the only branch of the armed services without a national museum to celebrate its role in the life of our Nation and to honor the men and women who serve. 

The public is generally unaware of the scale and scope of the Coast Guard’s missions. We have come to expect the MOST from the Coast Guard, but there is no place for the USCG to share with the public its history, to demonstrate its critical role in protecting us, and to highlight its relevance to the greatest issues facing our Nation. That is until now; it is the right time to build the National Coast Guard Museum in honor of those who serve.
