After receiving tons of support from the Door County community earlier this year, members of the U.S. Coast Guard returned the favor at a fundraiser for Adopt a Soldier on Saturday in Sturgeon Bay. During the event, children were able to go on a Coast Guard boat and learn about all the different parts and functions it has. BM3 Jacob Hallam says the support they’ve received has been impactful, especially when Adopt-a-Soldier provided gas and grocery gift cards during the government shutdown.

The U.S. Coast guard plans to be at all upcoming Adopt-a-Soldier events.
