Although U.S. Coast Guard traces their history to the 4 August 1790, as the Revenue Cutter Service, their "official" birthday known as the U.S. Coast Guard is today.

From mahan-l:
"1915 - Congress creates the United States Coast Guard by consolidating Life-Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service.  [Act to Create the Coast Guard passed by the House on 20 January, 1915 and signed by President Woodrow Wilson on 28 January 1915.]"
