These Auxiliarists allowed CBP to process the largest migration year in recent history by dedicating nearly 13,000 hours in direct boots-on-the-ground support at the South West Border, helping process over 320,000 immigrants. Your dedication to the Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, and the Nation is greatly appreciated -you are awarded and authorized to wear the Special Operations Service Ribbon.”
