Seaman David Shields, stationed on the Coast Guard Cutter Sherman, receives a recognition coin from Mark Campbell, Chief of International Interdiction and U.S. Interdiction Coordinator executive director, during an award ceremony held here Sept. 18, 2008. The crew of the Sherman was presented the Golden Eagle Award for superior performance in the interdiction of illicit drugs during the ship's deployment to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility. Working with the Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton, from San Diego, the two cutters recently recovered approximately 42,845 pounds of cocaine aboard the Panamanian flagged motor vessel Gatun during a maritime seizure.
