Happy Independence Day! Today we celebrate all of the freedoms we have as Americans. To quote our GM, "We have freedoms that are mere dreams to others around the world, and at BPMI, we further get to defend those freedoms in a unique way." Today, and every day, we are proud to live in a country that grants us the "great privilege to live with freedom, and as BPMI employees, we are privileged to support our fleet in protecting those freedoms. May we never take either responsibility for granted." What freedoms are you most thankful for this Fourth of July? #BPMIProud

For 155 years, Americans have set aside a day to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, dying in service to our country. However, real heroes never die; they live on in our hearts to inspire us, motivate us, and guide us. They are the ultimate examples of resilience, aspiration, and courage. Our fallen heroes may not be here to share their stories, but we can memorialize them as we remember their sacrifice and truly appreciate our freedom. It is a privilege to support those who sacrifice their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day. Thank you to all of our military heroes; you are remembered today and always. #BPMIProud #meaningfulwork

The month of May provides for a time of reflection and gratitude to honor the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives serving in the United States Armed Forces. Enacted in 1999 by Congress and honored every May, Military Appreciation Month encourages Americans to reflect on the sacrifices made by Soldiers, Sailors, and all current and former military personnel. To honor Military Appreciation Month and Memorial Day, the Navy Link Team recently distributed yellow ribbons to our workforce to serve as a reminder of the responsibility we at BPMI have to help bring our Sailors home safe and sound to their loved ones. This long-standing tradition is just one more way we are keeping our military heroes on our hearts and minds this May. #MemorialDay #MilitaryAppreciationMonth #BPMIProud #TeamNavalReactors #USNavy
