#Onthisday in 1940, the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco was commissioned. For seventy-seven years, the dedicated men and women of U.S. Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco have saved lives, aided navigation, enforced federal and international law, and protected living marine resources on the inshore and offshore waters along three hundred miles of California coastline.
