The service motto Semper Paratus appears across the shield, with the founding year 1790 marked below. Curved text reading "United States Coast Guard" arcs around the top of the emblem, while a gold banner beneath says "Who is Also a" leading to "Coast Guard Veteran" in large letters at the bottom, bookended by stars.
