On December 20, 2019, the United States Space Force was created, marking its place as the sixth branch of our Armed Forces. Today, we recognize the Guardians who serve with honor, protecting our nation and way of life beyond Earth.
Since the start of space exploration, the U.S. has led in technology and discovery. Every day, Space Force members uphold this legacy, ensuring our readiness against threats both on our planet and in space. Their dedication helps maintain American space superiority by deterring threats from adversaries and providing essential services like satellite communications and navigation. These capabilities play a crucial role in strengthening our economy and military, making the Space Force vital to our security and sovereignty.
Creating the Space Force was a strategic move to enhance America’s stance in space. With adversaries actively trying to undermine our space capabilities, this area is becoming a battlefield. The Guardians, along with their civilian colleagues, are key in tackling these challenges. This includes initiatives like the Golden Dome, an advanced missile defense system designed to protect our citizens from aerial attacks. This project received federal support from recent significant legislation, signaling strong financial backing for national security.
Thanks to effective leadership and a growing sense of purpose, the Space Force has exceeded its recruitment goals, demonstrating a rising interest in serving in this new branch. When America leads in space, it not only enhances military strength but ensures our place on the global stage.
As we celebrate the sixth anniversary of the United States Space Force, we express our deep appreciation for the Guardians who safeguard our freedom, both on land and in space. Their commitment ensures that our nation remains strong and secure.
