Transportation Security Administration (TSA)

Each year, the Secretary’s Awards honor the work, sacrifice, and professional excellence of employees from components all across the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. We want to congratulate Alen Wong, this year's recipient of the Valor Award, the highest recognition for extraordinary acts of valor occurring either on or off duty. Wong, a Supervisory Transportation Security Officer at A.B. Won Pat International Airport in Guam, was recognized for contributions made to emergency response efforts before, during, and after Super Typhoon Mawar in June 2023. "I am truly humbled and grateful to be recognized for this award along with the TSA Guam team. Being born and raised on island, I have become accustomed to these types of adverse weather events, and I feel that answering the call is an expectation that comes with the job," Wong said. Please join us in congratulating Alen Wong! #TeamTSA

Earlier today, TSA Deputy Administrator Holly Canevari and TSA leaders joined the #IdentityWeekAmerica 2024 conference on national security, digital transformation in travel, and emerging threats and challenges. “The traveling public is moving at a pace never before seen in our nearly 23-year history, and identity management remains a lynchpin in transportation security,” said DADM Canevari. Thank you to our partners at today’s event. It’s through our collaborative partnerships across the transportation and security sectors that we thrive.
