We at the NRC would like to take this time to thank the men and women of the Armed Forces – past and present – for the contribution they have made to our country. We held a ceremony at our HQ building today to honor veterans and, of course, our staff will have Monday off as a federal holiday.
We are proud that at least 20 percent of the NRC’s employees are veterans, and the NRC has special hiring authority to appoint veterans under certain circumstances. You can also learn more about the agency’s Veterans’ Employment Initiative here: http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1010/ML101090332.pdf
Please join us this weekend in remembering all our veterans, and in personally thanking the veterans in your lives.
