Grateful to those at @Interior and all who have served or continue to serve in our Armed Forces. Every privilege we enjoy living in a free country, where we can pursue happiness and a better future for our families, remains possible because of the service of our veterans.
They’ve served our country in uniform. Today, we’re proud to serve alongside them.
Veterans throughout Interior’s workforce bring invaluable leadership, discipline and experience to our mission every day.
Thank you for continuing to serve our Nation. 🇺🇸

On Veterans Day, bear in mind it is not just their service to be honored.
It’s their experience and knowledge to be valued.
Col. Hugh Percy, 5th Regt. of Foot, after the action of Lexington, Concord and Menotomy, April 19, 1775:
“During the whole affair, the rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance and resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into a regular body. Indeed they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself very much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as rangers against the Indians and Canadians, and this country being very much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting.”
You don’t go to war if you don’t know how to go to war.
Their ranks and leadership were filled with combat veterans of the French and Indian War. No small part of why we have a free nation.
