Yered was a United States Coast Guardsman who was awarded the Silver Star Medal for his actions during the Vietnam War.[1][2][3][4][5] CareerAccording to the Milford Daily News, his local paper, Yered enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard at seventeen years old.[1] He rose to the highest enlisted rank, master chief petty officer, prior to his retirement after 24 years of service. Yered's 82-foot Point-class cutter was moored in a river port at Cát Lái, Vietnam, on February 18, 1968, when the base was attacked by mortars and rockets.[6][2][7] According to his official biography: Yered was also awarded a Purple Heart. Personal lifeAfter he retired from the U.S. Coast Guard Yered was a groundskeeper at a high school in Massachusetts.[8] LegacyIn 2010, when the U.S. Coast Guard decided that all the new Sentinel-class cutters would be named after U.S. Coast Guardsmen who had been recognized for their heroism, Yered was one of those to be honored.[2][9] The fourth cutter in the class was named the {{USCGC|Robert Yered|WPC-1104}}.[10] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/x1605024810/Coast-Guard-will-name-ship-after-Millis-veteran|title=Coast Guard will name ship after Millis veteran|publisher=Milford Daily News|date=2012-01-29|accessdate=2012-04-21|quote=Robert Yered signed up for the Coast Guard at 17, George Yered remembers.
