The U.S. Coast Guard has released its Top 10 video compilation for 2013, highlighting the year’s most compelling cases from the work done every day by America’s Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard also announced its 2013 Video of the Year contest in which the public is invited to vote for their favorite video. The contest begins Sunday, with voting open through Jan. 13, 2014. The Coast Guard’s official blog, the Coast Guard Compass, will publish one of the 10 videos each day along with commentary from a servicemember who participated in the mission.
“Most Coast Guard operations and missions aren’t caught on camera,” said Capt. Todd Prestidge, commanding officer of Training Center Cape May. “Much of our work occurs in the black of night during the most brutal weather conditions or thousands of miles away from U.S. shores in some of the most dangerous places on earth. This gives the people we serve an opportunity to see what Coast Guardsmen do every day.”
