U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Katlyn Dannheim poses with a framed photo of her sister and family in Portsmouth, Virginia, March 19, 2024. Kaitlyn said her sister's letters she received at basic training are a big reason she was able to graduate, "Mail time is highly anticipated and I watched my peers open their letters week after week. The only letters I received were from my sister, and it's because of her love and support that I feel I was able to graduate." (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Mikaela McGee)
