July 17, 2025

Many know Admiral John Borland as the highest-ranking official in the Belize Coast Guard, but few may realize that this distinguished Belizean leader was born and raised in the quiet village of Forest Home. Admiral Borland’s journey began in the Belize Defense Force, where he steadily rose through the ranks to eventually lead the Coast Guard as its Admiral. His dedication and exceptional service have now been recognized on the world stage. Just last week, Admiral Borland was awarded the Legion of Merit, one of the highest military honors globally. We at PGTV proudly salute Admiral John Borland, a true son of the soil, whose roots in Forest Home have grounded a life of extraordinary service and national pride.
