Hi I’m Ryan Zinke,

Secretary of the Interior.

Across our globe our United States Military defends our freedoms and our values every day.

We have the worlds finest military force, and it’s because of the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and their families that keeps our nation strong and respected.

This month is Military Appreciation Month, and tomorrow is Armed Forces Day.

As we reflect on the sacrifices, courage and commitment of our armed forces and their families I ask each of us to keep those deployed and in harm’s way in our hearts and prayers.

Thank you for serving and keeping America safe.

And Happy Armed Forces Day.

May God bless our military and their families, and may God bless the United States of America.
