For YOUR Information:
The current Court of Valor displays the
branch flags in order by when the
branch was created. However, there is
a special condition with the Coast Guard.
Army - June 14th, 1775
Navy - October 13th, 1775
Marines - November 10th, 1775
Air Force September 18th, 1947
Space Force - December 20th, 2019
Coast Guard - August 14th, 1790

According to the Department of Defense,
The Coast Guard has DUAL ROLES.
In times of peace, the Coast Guard
protects the nation's coasts, ports, and
waterways through a variety of law enforcement,
search and rescue, and regulatory missions.
This includes enforcing laws at sea, protecting
the marine environment, ensuring the safety of
commercial and recreational boating, and
maintaining aids to navigation.
The Coast Guard operates under the
Department of Homeland Security during peacetime,
allowing it to conduct law enforcement activities that
federal law prohibits the military from doing within the U.S.
*&*
The Court of Valor is a Military Monument and we
do not lower the Flags to Half Staff for events other
than those Honoring Military related events.
However, POTUS can and has ordered the Flags
at Half Staff to show respect for occasional events
by Executive Orders.
*&*
Let's Pray For Peace, by Strength if necessary.
