In a poignant tribute to the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. Coast Guard has commissioned its 62nd Fast Response Cutter, named in honor of a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice on that fateful day. The cutter, which will serve as a vital asset in the Coast Guard's maritime law enforcement and search and rescue operations, is named after Petty Officer 2nd Class Patrick D. Sullivan, a member of the FDNY who died responding to the World Trade Center attacks. Sullivan's bravery and selflessness in the face of danger embody the values of the U.S. Coast Guard, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Coast Guardsmen. The commissioning of this new cutter marks a significant milestone in the Coast Guard's efforts to modernize its fleet and enhance its capabilities in the face of evolving maritime threats.
