Lt. Cmdr. La’Shanda Holmes’ story of perseverance and triumph to become a U.S. Coast Guard pilot and serve as a White House Fellow is truly inspiring. The quality and dedication of our people never ceases to amaze me. Since the founding of the White House Fellow program in 1964, the Coast Guard has placed ten Fellows, but eight in the past ten years—with six of them women! Over the next several weeks, Adm. Karl Schultz will be highlighting Coast Guard women who have served in this highly-competitive and prestigious program. All Coast Guard members are encouraged to apply.
