United States Coast Guard units may be awarded either the Navy or Coast Guard version of the Presidential Unit Citation, depending on which service the Coast Guard was supporting when the citation action was performed. A Coast Guard version of the award was awarded to the entire U.S. Coast Guard, including the Coast Guard Auxiliary, by President George W. Bush for Hurricane Katrina rescue and relief operations. All Coast Guard members who received the award are authorized to wear the Presidential Unit Citation ribbon with a special clasp in the form of the internationally recognized "hurricane symbol"
