Family and friends gathered on Coast Guard Island in Alameda, Calif., to welcome their loved ones home who were deployed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton as the cutter and crew return home following a 60-day deployment, April 5, 2018. Stratton crewmembers sailed nearly 15,000 nautical miles during the multi-mission patrol conducting counter drug operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and serving as a search and rescue platform off the coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea.
