Thank you @BettyMcCollum04 and @KenCalvert for hosting me and @thejointstaff Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia at Creative Disruptors by the Lakes. A strong partnership between @CIA and @DeptofWar is essential for integrating intelligence and military efforts to safeguard our Nation.
Duty. Commitment. Mission.
The National Security Act of 1947 created our Nation’s first peacetime intelligence agency to gather and share intelligence to protect our homeland from foreign threats. We are proud to serve our fellow Americans as we take on this extraordinary task.
CIA remembers the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 when terrorists struck the United States. We led the first strikes in Afghanistan and continue to relentlessly hunt down those who pose a threat to Americans. CIA will neither forget, nor rest in pursuit of our Nation's enemies.
Retrieved from the ruins of the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, this beam stands at CIA Headquarters as a solemn memorial to the victims.
