Today marks the first day of the #WeekofRemembrance, observed annually from June 30 to July 6. A week of turning lessons into learning and ensuring our fallen firefighters are #NeverForgotten. There is no question that the loss of a firefighter profoundly impacts us all. The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) #6MFS Wildland Firefighter Week of Remembrance is set aside to honor our fallen firefighters. Throughout the week NWCG will be discussing the #MendocinoComplex. Today is dedicated to the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots who were lost on June 30, 2013, while fighting the #YarnellHillFire. Follow along on NWCG Facebook page or visit https://lnkd.in/gZTNP9Eq to learn more. 📸 Granite Mountain Hotshots

Juneteenth is a time to both reflect and celebrate. Today, we observe the important step taken toward the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate the strength of the Black community. Juneteenth is commemorated at the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York, Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and many other locations across the country. Interior has the honor of protecting sacred places and histories for the American people, many of which explore enslavement, emancipation and the fight for equality.
