I serve alongside our proud veterans who
deserve that gratitude. Here at TSA, I am privileged to work with many
employees who are veterans of the United States Armed Forces. I myself served
in the U.S. Army’s Third Armored Division during the end of the Cold War and in
Operations Desert Shield and Storm. Across our entire agency, veterans account
for nearly 25 percent of the workforce. They’re still serving, only in a
different uniform.
In addition to the veterans among us, there
are many other TSA employees who continue to serve our nation as reservists.
Every month some of our colleagues throughout the agency deploy to active duty
and others return from military service to their work at TSA.
We are proud that so many veterans have made
the choice to wear the uniform of a transportation security officer when their
commitment to wearing the uniform of the United States military has been
fulfilled. Our workforce is strengthened by the qualities and disciplines our
service men and women possess as a result of their military training.
Thank you to all veterans who have served and
sacrificed for our great nation.
