President Thomas Brackin, Vice President Troy Pezzuto and Board Member Charles Dalton from the Delaware State Troopers Association showed their support for the Coast Guard during the federal shutdown.
The union leaders visited the U.S Coast Guard Station at Indian River Inlet along with members of the Delaware State Police Maritime Unit.
The DSTA purchased food for the members of the base from Bethany Blues in Lewes.
With the government shutdown, members of the Coast Guard Unit have not been receiving pay from the government.
Using funds from the “Troopers for Troops” program, meals were provided for the entire unit.
Brackin stated, “these brave men and women put their lives on the line every day for us and are our partners in keeping Delaware and its visitors safe.”. The DSTA and its over 700 members wanted to make sure they know that as fellow first responders we support them and their families 100 percent.”
