A group of dedicated Coast Guard Auxiliary volunteers presented our nation's colors at Petco Park during pre-game ceremonies for the Padres-Nationals game. Angie Ginn, Frank Harris and Commander Will Tisch represented Flotilla 1-5. Randy Houk represented Flotilla 16-5. Eileen Tisch captured many good photos, and Connie Houk recorded some nice video of the event.

The San Diego Padres were an extremely gracious host. Pad Squad member Becci was our guide, and she made sure that the entire operation ran smoothly for us. Thank you Becci, and the entire San Diego Padres organization!

Will Tisch, IPFC 1-5, started the Color Guard in 2006. We have performed in the Veterans Day Parade, 4th of July Parade, Chargers football games, Padres baseball games and funeral services. We have also participated in memorial services for the sailors of the 1905 USS Bennington tragedy held every year at Fort Rosecrans by the Sons of the American Revolution. We have also presented the Colors at the Change of Watch event and performed duty aboard the USS Midway for the Military Photo Unit of Veterans.
