The Coast Guard Creed

Born Ready

This medal is crafted to commemorate the brave souls in the Coast Guard or who have been in the Coast Guard. It is dedicated to the Coast Guard.

A large man at 7.5 feet tall, he worked helping travelers cross a raging river safely. One day a small child asked for his service. Perched on Christopher’s shoulders, the child grew heavier and heavier as they crossed the stream. Reaching the other shore, Christopher asked him, ‘Who are you, that you placed me in such peril? It seems I was carrying the whole world on my shoulders.’ The child replied, ‘You not only carried the world, but him who made it. I am Jesus Christ, the King.’ St. Christopher's name means ‘Christ-bearer.’ He was believed to have lived in the third century during the reign of Decius. The Saint Christopher medal is one of the most popular saint medals worn; he is revered by Coast Guard as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. He holds patronage of all things related to travel with protection from accidents, lightning, pestilence, floods, and storms. He is also patronage for a Holy death, boatmen, soldiers, sailors, surfers, mountaineering and all transportation workers. His feast day is celebrated July 25.

The spiritual meaning of silver symbolizes strength, spirit, grace, divinity, wisdom and purity. Sterling silver is reflective and mirrors the soul, it is said to bring calm and balance to the wearer.

The rising price of silver makes this a great investment.
