The Coast Guard is a branch of the US Military, so yes.
Approximately 56 USCG vessels participated in the war. About 26 of those vessels were the famed "82 footers"; Coast Guard Patrol boats.
The Coast Guard currently has 43 batle streamers. The set is described by the specification MIL-DTL-14650/6D which is available from the DoD ASSIST web site.
The coast guard does go to war. I am currently in the coast guard and we have been involved in every major war. Not many casualties because our role isn't one involving combat, but we do provide a lot of support. here is a link to the coast guard website that shows which wars we've been involved in: http://www.uscg.mil/History/faqs/wars.asp
