The Army National Guard's support in wildfire response efforts is crucial. On National Wildland Firefighters Day, honor the sacrifices and tireless hours of those who protect life, property, and resources from wildfires.

Today marks 51 years of the all-volunteer force. The Nixon administration ended the draft in 1973, allowing Americans to serve in any military branch. The brave members of our diverse force voluntarily dedicate themselves to protecting and defending our nation.

Maj. Gen. Craig Strong, the @NENationalGuard Adjutant General, visited with Soldiers last month as they supported the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at two control points in Nebraska. These Soldiers are helping ensure the safety of those affected by the recent tornadoes.

I am proud of how quickly these @PANationalGuard Soldiers were able to level a Satellite Transportable Terminal during June 15. The STT establishes critical communication virtually anywhere and provides secure voice, video, and data transmission.

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the day Army Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston to announce General Order No. 3 and free enslaved Americans in Texas. Today, as we honor the legacy of emancipation, I wish our service members & civilian workforce a meaningful holiday.

Recently, I had the honor of raising the new Minnesota state flag at the Temple Army National Guard Readiness Center in Arlington, VA. The new flag depicts the North Star inside an abstract shape of Minnesota and a light blue banner representing the states more than 10,000 lakes.

Today, we recognized the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948. 76 years later, women are eligible for every job in the Army Guard and make up about 14% of the force. We recognize women’s impact to national security, ultimately enhancing our war fighting capabilities.

With high ocean temperatures, climate scientists expect this year to be an active hurricane season. Thankfully, the Army Guard methodically trains and prepares to respond and support the public and local authorities when emergency strikes. Learn more here:
