Happy Flag Day! Did you know Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777? The resolution passed by the Second Continental Congress on that day read: “Resolved: that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Here at The EEcosystem one of our foundational pillars is to "connect" and help bring together all the diverse engineering disciplines & domains together to make the industry stronger. Its clear that "unity" is a fragile thing, regardless of context. Today we're pausing to remember the core principle of unity that our American Flag Day represents and to continually aspire to that lofty goal. As with America and it's citizens--It takes an entire ecosystem working together to enable this industry flourish. Here's to the pursuit of unity in all our endeavors as we reflect upon Flag Day today. #flagday #america #unity

Juneteenth is an important day in American history, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved people were now free. This announcement came over two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which had officially abolished slavery in the confederate states. As we mark this significant milestone, it is essential to remember that the fight for freedom and justice for all continues. Juneteenth serves as a reminder that progress can be slow and uneven and that we must remain vigilant in our efforts to combat systemic racism and discrimination. At Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, my team is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected and advocating for ongoing change. We recognize that diversity and inclusion are essential to our success and a culture of belonging allows our team to be seen, heard, and valued. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us continue our commitment to promoting equality and justice for all. Together, we can build a better future for ourselves and future generations 💙 #Juneteenth #Freedom #Justice #Diversity #Inclusion #Belonging
