Coast Guard Heritage

We at CutterAgent are personally and professionally committed to helping organizations that seek to preserve the Coast Guard's unique heritage, culture, and history for generations to come. To that end, we've established a free Coast Guard Heritage Alliance membership program, where museums, associations and other Coast Guard groups can receive 10% off purchases in the CutterAgent unit store (with some restrictions).

Groups invited to join include:

• Museums and historic ships/cutters with a Coast Guard focus
• Chief's Messes and Assocations
• Coast Guard fraternal organizations
• Reunion groups

Please note, the 10% discount will only apply to organizations ordering for their gift shops or "ship's stores" for resale or internal use (like parking signs or facility banners). All approved member groups will be given an ordering code for use in placing their orders.

If you think your orgazation might qualify for this program, contact Jeff Dow at 319-244-8724 or the e-mail link in the left navigation bar.. We're still fleshing out standards for which organizations qualify. We'll be able to come up with guidelines as we're able.

One goal is to enable museums to sell unit ballcaps and apparel for Coast Guard units in their area as a fundraiser (as long as the units are OK with it)...but for Chief's Messes and other groups that would realistically only need to buy their own embroidered shirts, decals, etc., the discount would only apply to items with their logo/crest on it.

Members of the Coast Guard Heritage Alliance are:

• USCGC INGHAM Museum (Key West, Florida)
• Coast Guard Heritage Museum (Cape Cod, Mass)
