June is Caribbean-American heritage month. From vibrant music and art to groundbreaking achievements in various fields, Caribbean-Americans have significantly enriched our society. Let's take this month to acknowledge them, appreciate their accomplishments, and celebrate everything that makes the Caribbean-American community exceptional!

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a day in American history marking the end of slavery. On this day we honor and commemorate the strength, determination, and resilience of the African American community as well as their contributions to society. We also acknowledge the sacrifices of those who not only made Juneteenth a possibility, but all those that fought for equality throughout history in any way, shape, or form. As we reflect on this historic day, let us continue to work towards freedom and justice for all!

Happy Father's Day to all of the hardworking and dedicated dads, granddads, and father figures who continuously exceed expectations. Be sure to take time today to thank the father figure in your life with cards, gifts, or just a simple thank you. They will certainly appreciate it!

Looking forward to Jennifer Schaus Federal Government Contractors Summer Soiree! Hope to see some of you there.

June is recognized as Men's Health Month. During the month of June be sure to encourage the men in your life to schedule health check-ups, focus on their mental health, and develop healthy habits. While it is Men's Health Month, this should serve as a reminder to us all to continue to prioritize our health!

To start off the month of June, I would like to acknowledge national LGBTQIA+ Pride month! Let's celebrate how far the LGBTQIA+ community has come, and the diversity that they bring to our society.

Today is Memorial Day, a time where we acknowledge the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us take the time to reflect on their heroism, and honor them for their ultimate sacrifice.

Today I would like to celebrate and acknowledge Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month! Daniel Inouye was a towering figure in American history, who overcame adversity to become a beacon of courage and leadership. Born to Japanese immigrant parents in 1924, Inouye's journey is one that emphasizes determination and resolve. He served in World War II, earning the Medal of Honor for his bravery, fighting with the renowned 442nd Regimental Combat Team and losing his right arm to a grenade wound. Inouye's dedication to service also extended beyond the battlefield. He was the first Japanese American to serve in Congress, and did so for nearly half a century. He is most known for his advocacy for civil rights, healthcare, and veterans' affairs. His legacy serves as a reminder of the belief that, through determination and integrity, one can overcome even the greatest of obstacles.
