I would like to share with you my collection of 92 patches from the Great Lakes State. In my travels as a past Division Captain in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, I visited many of these facilities. If you are aware of any designs not shown, please contact me. This site was launched on Sunday, October 26, 2003.
The leading authority on Coast Guard patches is Rex M. "Wess" Wessling, LCDR, USCG (Ret.) who has published five reference manuals on the subject. Be sure to visit his site:
