Thanks to President George Washington, who signed a bill creating the Revenue Cutter Service on August 4, 1790, we have the U.S. Coast Guard. The Revenue Cutter Service merged with U.S. Life-Saving Service, creating the United States Coast Guard. In 1939, the Lighthouse Service merged with the Coast Guard.
