NARRAGANSETT, R.I. - Bagpipers play Amazing Grace as the Coast Guard Cutter Hammerhead floats offshore during a retirement ceremony for the Coast Guard's Ancient Keeper, Master Chief Petty Officer John Downey at Coast Guard Station Point Judith in Narragansett, R.I., June 20, 2008.
The Ancient Keeper title recognizes a Coast Guardsman with outstanding performance and longevity of service in boat forces operations. Chief Warrant Officer Kevin Galvin was named the new Ancient Keeper upon Downey's retirement after 41 years of service.
