Re: Letter of Support
On behalf of the City Council, it is my pleasure to offer support of the Port Angeles Regional
Chamber of Commerce's Veterans Committee's effort to pursue status as a Coast Guard
Designated Community. I wish to assist the Veterans Committee in the initial stage of the
process by committing our desire that our community acquire this prestigious designation. I
understand the application process requires a significant amount of time and research in order
to present the detailed list of requirements for consideration. I believe the committee is up for
the challenge as the designation will recognize,the longstanding history between our
community and the Coast Guard as well as honor.an entity that has watched over the safety of
our peninsula for decades.
The relationship our community has maintained with the Coast Guard recently celebrated its
80tI' year. We uphold our commitment as partners with the Coast Guard and commemorate
their history in our local museum. It is our interest to expand on our relationship just as their
service has expanded in our community. Their presence is an important part of our civic,
economic, and community life.
Our Coast Guard members are warmly welcomed by our community, and those who have
called the peninsula home will never be forgotten nor will they forget our beautiful coast. We
appreciate the service of the men and women who have served in the United States Coast
Guard; past, present and future. I am confident that this project will bring a new and exciting
element to our downtown and will instill pride to those who have served and those currently
enlisted.
S' cer ly,
Dan Di Guilio
Mayor
