NAPA LODGE #2043

Congratulations to Napa’s junior member, Austin Graeber, and fellow United States Coast Guard recruit, Amy Crowther. Austin and Amy were recently sworn in and are heading to boot camp in Cape May, New Jersey, where they are set to graduate as full-fledged Coasties on December 13th.

Amy hails from Texas, and her husband, Lieutenant Commander Chris Crowther (Retired), is a friend of Austin’s aunt, Master Chief Erica Graeber.

Austin is following in the footsteps of his Aunt Erica, who has served in the Coast Guard for the past 27 years, and his Uncle Teron, who is now a retired ATC with 20 years of service in the United States Navy.

Interestingly, Austin and Amy discovered that they would be assigned to the same company during boot camp. Before their departure to Cape May, they met up at the USO in Philadelphia.

We thank you, and your country thanks you.

Congratulations, Austin Graeber and Amy Crowther!
