The Past Captains' Association of the 11th Coast Guard District maintains the "CGAUX Memorial Marker" that lists the names of District Auxiliarists who have passed over the bar since 1967.  Originally constructed in 1970, six onyx stones bear the names of 675 Auxiliarists of the region.  The stones are set on concrete platforms with pegs so that the memorial can be moved to different locations on the base.  Today the memorial is located next to the water with an Auxiliary flag flying overhead.  History program, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.
