As everyone is hopefully enjoying time with their families and friends on the birthday of our great country, the officers and personnel of the department would like to say thank you and offer a reminder...

A thank you to the men and women of our armed forces; those that have served and those that are serving around the world protecting our country. May these brave men and women be able to safely return home to their families and friends at the end of their tour of duty.

And remember when you gather to watch the fantastic firework displays tonight that they are only possible through their service and sacrifice.

So when you see a member of our military take the opportunity to say 2 little words... thank you.
