In recognition of this heroic deed, Rear Adm. Brendan McPherson, deputy commander of U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area, honors Petty Officer 3rd Class Noah Sweeton of USCGC Juniper (WLB 212) in an informal ceremony at the pier in Apra Harbor, Guam, on Nov. 9, 2023. Sweeton was enjoying liberty on Nov. 8 with the crew at Chamorro Village when a critical situation demanded immediate action. Displaying commendable calmness and expertise, Sweeton administered life-saving CPR to a civilian experiencing cardiac symptoms. Thanks to his swift and proficient response, a life was saved. This event is a powerful reminder of our U.S. Coast Guard team's vital role in safeguarding our waters and our communities. We're immensely proud of Sweeton's lifesaving actions and deeply grateful for the commitment and readiness of all our members. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by CWO Muir)
