\u201cCoast Guard units served with distinction in missions supporting the war effort even before formal U.S. entry into World War II. On 3 September, 1939, two days after the German invasion of Poland, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany. On 5 September, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed U.S. neutrality and ordered units of the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard to establish a \u201cNeutrality Patrol.\u201d Its duties included observing and reporting belligerent warship movements in a cruising area that extended far into ocean waters adjacent to U.S. shores. Built in the late 1930\u2019s, the service\u2019s high-seas Treasury-class cutters (sometimes referred to as Secretary-or 327-foot, class cutters) became a mainstay of the neutrality patrol.” <\/em>Thiessen, William H. \u201cThe Coast Guard’s World War II Crucible\u201d.
