The parents of Lt. Commander Eric Quigley did not have to travel far to see their son take over his first command. The Green Bay native formally took over command of the Cutter Mobile Bay during a virtual ceremony last month after transferring from the branch’s headquarters in Washington D.C. He put his name in to serve on six other ships across the country, but Quigley is happy for the opportunity to come home.
Quigley looks forward to working with his crew and interacting with the community in the future as he celebrates his first United States Coast Guard Day in Sturgeon Bay.
