Thank you to those providing for our country.
(Washington, D.C.) - U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue took it upon himself to salute those working on the front line of our food supply chain.
Living in America, it is easy to take advantage of the abundant, healthy, wholesome, affordable, available food provided to us.
Perdue stressed the importance of thanking those who are serving the American people.
"And for all you people from the people who are stocking those shelves, from the people who are driving the trucks to get this food to us, the people who are processing the food and the people who grow the food and all the vendors that supplied our farmers to help them grow this food whether it’s fertilizer or feed or seed or any other input. Thank you so much for what you’re doing," says Perdue. "And I know these are uncertain times, but I just want to tell you from my heart, as an American citizen, I am so grateful for what you’re doing."
Without these each of these workers, the United State's food supply chain would fail.
Perdue explains that USDA's motto of “Do Right and Feed Everyone,” depends on these heroes.
