CHARLESTON, Ore. — Master Chief Petty Officer John E. Dunn, career Boatswain’s Mate, retired after 30 years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard during a ceremony held at Station Coos Bay in Charleston, Friday.
Vice Admiral John P. Currier, Vice Commandant and 2nd-in-command for the Coast Guard, traveled from Washington D.C. to preside over the ceremony.
A true legend in the Pacific Northwest, Dunn specialized not only in operating boats in heavy weather and surf conditions, but in interacting with and leading people.
