On Monday, our country will commemorate Veterans Day. It is a day we set aside to honor the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces, who have made possible the freedoms and liberties we cherish and safeguard.
One of the many qualities that makes our Department great is the number of veterans who are our colleagues and who continue to serve our country. We are grateful for them, and for all who have served and now serve in uniform.
Thank you to our veterans and thank you all for your service to our country.
Alejandro N. Mayorkas
Secretary of Homeland Security
With honor and integrity, we will safeguard the American people, our homeland, and our values.
