Thanksgiving Gratitude: Honoring FPS Employees and Contractors

A Heartfelt Thanks This Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, as families gather to celebrate and express gratitude, we want to take a moment to recognize the dedicated employees and contractors of the Federal Protective Service (FPS) who are working diligently through the holiday. Your commitment to safeguarding our federal properties is invaluable and deserves our utmost appreciation.

Saluting Our CBP and National Guard Members

In addition to FPS employees, we extend our sincere thanks to the members of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the National Guard. Their unwavering dedication to maintaining security and protecting federal property ensures that we can all enjoy the freedoms and comforts we often take for granted. Your service does not go unnoticed, and we are profoundly grateful for the sacrifices you make, especially during this festive season.

Special Holiday Meals for Our Deployed Personnel

To show our appreciation, the FPSA has arranged for delightful holiday meals to be sent to our deployed personnel. We understand that this time of year can be particularly challenging for those stationed away from loved ones, and we hope that these meals will provide a taste of home and a reminder of the support from those back at home. Your service is essential both on the ground and in preserving the values we hold dear.

Recognizing Our Essential Contractors

We would also like to acknowledge the contractors who are working over the holiday, including dispatchers and Protective Security Officers. Your roles are critical in the smooth operation of our protective services, and your readiness to serve—even during Thanksgiving—epitomizes dedication and professionalism. Each one of you plays a pivotal part in ensuring the safety and welfare of all federal properties.

Together, We Celebrate the Spirit of Thanksgiving

As we collectively give thanks this holiday season, let us remember the efforts of each individual who contributes to our safety and security. Your hard work, especially during such a significant time, exemplifies the spirit of unity and commitment that characterizes our community. Thank you for your exceptional service, your sacrifices, and for standing watch when it is needed most. We wish you all a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving.
