Chief of the National Guard @ Esper
General Joseph Lengyel
Talking with Guardsmen & women as I assessed our support to civil authorities in D.C. on Thursday evening, I was so impressed yet again with our Soldiers and Airmen. (1/3)
@EsperDoD: "The National Guard … has gone from tackling natural disasters …, to combating the coronavirus …, to now dealing with civil unrest … , all while many of their fellow Guardsmen are deployed abroad, defending against America's real adversaries." (2/3)
We were designed for all of these missions, & I am so proud of our Guard members today. Our troops are here to protect life & property, & preserve peace, order & public safety. We are here to help, & we will stay as long as we are needed. (3/3)
