"Demonstrating
exceptional leadership and superior dedication to the Auxiliary, Mr. BURT
provided outstanding support to Sector Lower Mississippi River from
multiple leadership positions. At all times serving in no less than
two capacities within his home Flotilla, Division and the District Staff,
he maintained a wholehearted commitment to the men and women of Divisions
5, 15, and 16. Applying himself to the myriad tasks of his appointed
and elected positions, he traveled extensively and communicated
exhaustively to stay abreast of the many activities of the Auxiliary
throughout Sector Lower Mississippi River's expansive area of
responsibility. In the absence of any significant Coast Guard
operational presence, his championship of the operations and outreach
efforts of these three Divisions was vital to the success of the Coast
Guard's recreational boating safety mission. By spurring an
expansive recognition effort with formal and informal awards, Mr. BURT
brought well-deserved attention to the outstanding members of the southern
area of the Eighth Western Region. As Rear Commodore, Division
Captain and Operations Officer, he tirelessly connected the work of the
Auxiliary with the active duty personnel of Sector Lower Mississippi
River. With personal involvement on the water and years of
experience in proper coordination of mission orders, he promoted the
synergy of forces necessary to display a solid Coast Guard presence across
Arkansas, Oklahoma and southern Missouri." |
