Officer Snook Gets Day at the White House<br />
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Officer Snook of the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong>’s Sea<br />
Partners program made a special appearance at the White House Easter<br />
Egg Roll March 24. He appeared along with other characters from books,<br />
television and film — including Snoopy, Arthur, Super Why! and Mickey<br />
Mouse. This year’s theme was “Ocean Conservation” so the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong><br />
and Officer Snook were invited to attend since Sea Partner’s mission is to<br />
promote a cleaner maritime environment. Reservists and auxiliarists are<br />
heavily involved nationwide in Sea Partners. The program coordinator is<br />
ISC Michelle Birchfield, USCGR, with ENS Frederik Pegna set to take<br />
over this summer.<br />
