On National Day of the Deployed, I honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who serve far from home to protect our nation and keep others safe.

I also recognize the families who stand behind them, carrying the responsibilities at home while enduring the distance and awaiting their loved ones’ safe return. Their strength, resilience, and sacrifice are an essential part of that service.

To all our deployed service members, thank you for your dedication and sacrifice. May God protect you, strengthen your families, and bring you home safely. 🇺🇸🇵🇷

También reconozco a las familias que los respaldan, asumiendo las responsabilidades del hogar mientras enfrentan la distancia y esperan el regreso seguro de sus seres queridos. Su fortaleza, resiliencia y sacrificio son parte esencial de ese servicio.

A todos nuestros militares desplegados, gracias por su compromiso y sacrificio. Que Dios los proteja, fortalezca a sus familias y les permita regresar sanos y salvos a sus hogares. 🇺🇸🇵🇷
