TSA Honors and Employs America's Veterans

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been actively demonstrating its dedication to America's military veterans through various initiatives aimed at honoring, assisting, and employing those who have served. A standout event was the inaugural Honor Flight from Puerto Rico to Washington, D.C., which provided over 40 veterans an unforgettable journey, celebrating their service with honor guards and a water salute.

TSA's commitment extends beyond special events to everyday actions, like the warm welcome extended by TSA officers at San Jose International Airport to veterans participating in Operation Surf. This program, emphasizing the healing power of the ocean, showcases TSA's dedication to the well-being of wounded warriors.

The agency's Insider Threat Program, led by empathetic professionals, is a testament to TSA's balanced approach to security, prioritizing both safety and the dignity of its employees. Work, focusing on internal security with a humane approach, reflects TSA's comprehensive safety strategies.

Central to TSA's ethos is employing veterans, valuing the unique skills and experiences they bring to the workforce. With programs and benefits tailored for veterans, TSA facilitates their smooth transition to civilian roles, recognizing their invaluable contribution to the agency's mission. Approximately one in five TSA employees is a veteran, underscoring the deep connection and shared values between TSA and the military community.

Through these initiatives, TSA not only aids veterans in their post-service life but also enriches its workforce with their expertise, integrity, and commitment, enhancing the safety and security of all travelers.
