Today I officiated the promotion ceremony of Brigadier General Rodney C. Boyd, now the first Black Major General in nearly 300 years of the Illinois National Guard.
Black history is still being made.

Our veterans are some of the most selfless and committed citizens.
Every year, about 200,000 military members retire or separate from the armed forces. As we observe National Hire a Veteran Day, we encourage employers to hire a veteran.
Today is National Hire a Veteran Day! #Veterans make up a key aspect of our labor force and bring their unique skills to many positions. Consider hiring a veteran for your next opening. veteran.com/hire-a-veteran-d…
