ghner Emeric, of Vieques, will be the new CoastInspection Chief for PR next month. He recentlyreceived a national award:1. Forwarded, highly recommending LCDR Eneric forthe National Image lnc, Meritorious Service Award.2. LCDR Emetic’s sustained and genuine commitmentto all aspects of civil tights sends a compelling messagein support of the Coast Guard’s core values of Honor,Respect, and Devotion to Duty. His enthusiasm andkeen ability to sensitize our workplace is unequalled,helping the Coast Guard to become an employer ofchoice for all races, but especially Hispanic Americans.His impact is acutely obvious in his own workenvironment where high morale and high productivity gohand-in-hand.3. LCDR Emetic is an outstanding role model and a

tireless giver who Js always reaching out. He is stronglyconnected to fellow Hispanics in the Coast Guardthrough an extensive infonnat network, in the SeaServices through ANSO, and in the conmunity throughpartnerships in educalion and sports coaching. Becauseof his obvions pride in his Hispanic heritage and respectfor all other races, he inspires an exceptional level trustand understanding in all settings, at work or in thecommunity.4. The Coast Guard benefits greatly from having an

officer of LCDR Emetic’s considerable talents. We gaineven more when that officer works as hard as LCDREmetic does to attract, retain, and make the workplacebetter for all of his shipmates. believe that this officeris most deserving of the honor represented by theNational hnage Inc, Metitorious Service Award. urgeyou to give LCDR Emeric’s recommendation yourstrongest consideration.
