It was a special honor to spend time with the multitude of joint 🇺🇸 servicewomen serving at the @WhiteHouse as we wrapped up Women's History Month with our @VP#WHM@WHOSTP
I am in awe of the remarkable women who serve at this White House and are currently serving in our armed forces. As we marked the end of Women’s History Month, I spent some time with them to thank them for serving our nation.
As guardians of our ocean & relationships between people, land, water, & ice, these women are master divers, Polynesian canoe sailors, pinniped 🦭 & penguin experts, & have worked on every continent #WomensHistoryMonth@pelagexplorer@aluaq@AulaniWilhelm@IronGentoo (4/5)
Impressive in their work and as whole people, I want to introduce the talented women on our Climate & Environment team at the @WhiteHouse Office of Science & Technology Policy @WHOSTP#WomensHistoryMonth - a thread (1/5)
