Meet the Texans who plunged into the waves to save lives and keep law and order on the border.
The Revenue Cutter Service, which later merged with the U.S. Life Saving Service to form the Coast Guard, patrolled South Texas as early as 1846. In 1852, the first Light House was built in Point Isabel, followed by the first Life Saving station in 1881. Salute the heroes who responded to the devastating hurricane of 1919 and stand watch with Chief Pablo Valent, the first Hispanic-American to command a rescue station. From Commander Charles R. Wilson's oral history of WWII boot camp to the legacy of Station Keeper Wallace L. Reed, the longest servicing Officer in Charge, Dr. Jackie Kyger preserves the heritage of the men and women who lived by the Coast Guard's motto: Always Ready
