Today marks the 102nd anniversary of the U.S. Border Patrol, representing more than a century of service.

As we continue preserving this history, the National Border Patrol Museum is introducing our Corporate Sponsorship Program, with Staffing joining us as our inaugural sponsor.

For nearly thirty years, LUKE has provided healthcare staffing for the U.S. Government, supporting service members, veterans, first responders, and their families.

This week, we're recognizing the EMS professionals who show up in the hardest moments, often in places most people will never see.

Border Patrol agents and specialized teams provide emergency medical care during rescues and disaster operations across remote terrain where help may be hours away. It’s work that requires both skill and a deep commitment to saving lives.

To everyone in emergency medical services, thank you.
