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