POINT PLEASANT – Two members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Manasquan Inlet have been honored with the 2021 Academy Partner Volunteer Service Award.
Auxiliarists Chris and Janet Malzone were selected after volunteering over 1,000 hours of service to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Admissions Partner Program.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this award,” Chris and Janet Malzone said. “Our daughter was a cadet at the US Coast Guard Academy, graduating in 2000, and we would go to the local high schools to talk about attending a ‘different’ college with a ‘mission’ upon graduation. We became fully qualified as Partners and have attended countless college fairs and congressional events to talk about the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, as well as spending several weeks during the summers to assist with the AIM (Academy Introduction Mission) program.”
“Chris and Janet continue to be among the best in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary,” Flotilla Commander John Fisher said. “Their dedication to the Admissions Partner Program and spreading the word about the U.S. Coast Guard Academy is unmatched and this award confirms that. Congratulations from all of us at Flotilla Manasquan Inlet.”
