Museum features Coast Guard in N.C.

Ribbon cutting ceremony at the Museum of the Albemarle

Team members involved in a new Coast Guard exhibit at the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, N.C., participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009.  The exhibit, “Out of the Blue: Coast Guard Aviation,” features more than 120 artifacts, photographs, graphic panels and a child-size helicopter, to tell the story of the Coast Guard from its formation in 1790 to the present day. Coast Guard members and employees make up much of the Elizabeth City population as it is home to the largest Coast Guard Air Station.  (U.S. Coast Guard photo/PA2 Andrew Kendrick)
