The Coast Guard Color is white with a dark blue U.S. Coat of Arms overall. The shield on the eagle's breast has a blue chief over vertical red and white stripes. Inscribed in an arc above the eagle is "UNITED STATES COAST GUARD"; below the eagle is the U.S.C.G. motto, "SEMPER PARATUS" ("Always Prepared") and beneath that the numerals "1790" -- this being the year in which the service's ancestor, the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, was founded. All inscriptions are dark blue.

Bases are available for these stick flags under our ACCESSORIES section.
