Emphasizing the importance of their mission ahead in a quickly changing world, President Biden told graduating Coast Guard cadets on Wednesday that “we need you badly – that’s not hyperbole.”
Biden, giving his first commencement address as the nation’s commander in chief, urged the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s 2021 graduating class to “go out and be the future” and that their “mission will become even more global and even more important.”
Speaking at the Coast Guard Academy’s campus in New London, Connecticut, the president stressed that “the world is changing. We’re at a significant inflection point,” as he spotlighted “disruptive nations” such as China and Russia as a top challenge facing the U.S.
