250 years ago, a Navy was born - forged in the fight for freedom, built to defend a nation, and ready to meet every challenge since. ⚓️
From wooden ships to nuclear carriers, from signal flags to satellites - the U.S. Navy stands ready on every horizon.

June 12, 2025, is now Women Veterans Day in Washington.
It struck me that the women veterans I met while signing the proclamation earlier this week are still finding ways to serve. I deeply appreciate the impact they’re making for folks across Washington.
CJ’s shirt said it best: “My mom is not just a veteran – she's my hero.”
I welcome all Washingtonians to join me in celebrating the contributions of women veterans to the progress of our country and state on Women Veterans Day.

We need the help of all Washingtonians, and I urge everybody to raise awareness of the support services that are available for suicide prevention.
Together, we must encourage those in need to reach out for help, hope, and community.
Washington State is committed to fighting suicide among service members, veterans, and families. Watch Gov. Ferguson's overview video and learn how to help!

On Thanksgiving, we're thankful for those who serve in uniform and sacrifice their lives for our country. Today, we're thankful for Veterans from all generations and conflicts, and we pause to remember those in duty stations far from home.

Yesterday, I took part in a Veterans suicide prevention think tank hosted by @wdva and @VAPugetSound to speak with local leaders and stakeholders on ways we can work together to improve access to mental health resources and support our Veterans when they come home.

People who are close to Veterans are often the first to notice when they are struggling. Letting a Veteran know you’re there for them can start a conversation. If a Veteran you know is struggling, don’t wait. Reach out.
Visit VA.gov/REACH for resources.
