A loved one greets Petty Officer 3rd Class Vincent

A loved one greets Petty Officer 3rd Class Vincent Guerra, a yeoman aboard Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star, at Pier 36 on Coast Guard Base Seattle after Polar Star returned from a 108-day deployment to Antarctica, March 21, 2014. Having completed a reactivation that began four years ago, this deployment marks the first time in six years that a U.S. icebreaker has supported Operation Deep Freeze, the U.S. Antarctic Program’s resupply efforts of McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
