Coast Guard Cross

The Coast Guard Cross is a military decoration of the United States Coast Guard. Established by Act of Congress on 15 October 2010, it is intended to recognize members of the United States Coast Guard for extraordinary heroism in action, while not operating under the Department of the Navy. Coast Guard members serving under the United States Navy would be eligible for the Navy Cross. This medal, though approved, has not yet been awarded.

During World War II, six US Coast Guard personnel, four officers and two enlisted, were awarded the Navy Cross.〔http://www.homeofheroes.com/members/02_NX/indexes/06_ncross_wwii-CoastGuard.html〕
