“These are strong women, resilient women; women of purpose, of vision and women of destiny. We take pride in the fact that we have strong women in the coast guard and they contribute significantly to the overall success of this organization at different levels. In fact, the current, acting vice commandant is Lieutenant Commander Pinelo. Our Agitant Lieutenant Junior Grade Reyes and of course we have other female officers, Lieutenant Bellini, ensign Jones, Ensign Welch – all strong women. We have special mothers as well.”
