Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Steven Cantrell reads a letter from Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Paul Zukunft congratulating Clemon Terrell on his promotion to Honorary Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer during a ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2014, in Burlington, N.C. Terrell, a Burlington native, served from 1950 to 1970 as a steward, the only job available to African-Americans in the Coast Guard, which limited his advancement opportunities.
