Happy Father's Day!

When we're little, dads carry us.
Years later, it's the memories that carry us.

Happy Father's Day to the dads who lift us up and help us see a little farther than we could on our own.

The bald eagle became a symbol of the United States in 1782.

Since then, generations of Americans have defended the freedoms represented by that symbol.

This Memorial Day, we honor the service members who gave their lives for our country and remember the freedoms that allow Americans to experience and share our public lands and wildlife.

As our nation approaches the Freedom 250 milestone, we remember that freedom has always carried a cost.

They work at ports, at crime scenes, and deep in some of the most remote places in America.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service law enforcement includes Special Agents, Wildlife Inspectors, and Federal Wildlife Officers, along with the analysts, forensics experts, and support staff behind the scenes.

They investigate wildlife trafficking.
They protect endangered species.
They patrol national wildlife refuges and respond when people need help.

During National Police Week, we recognize the full team behind the badge and the work they do every day to protect wildlife and the American public.
