Based on Hamilton tartan in honour of Alexander Hamilton, first US Secretary of the Treasury and founder of the US Coast Guard. The blue is changed to modern Coast Guard Blue symbolic of the seas and skies where the men and women of the Coast Guard work. The red represents the courage and sacrifice of Coast Guard members in peace and in war. The ten thread count white overstripe is a symbol of the white sails of the first ten cutters of the service authorised by Hamilton.
