 Command Sergeant Major and I want to wish the United States Army Veterinary Corps a very happy 105th anniversary. Veterinarians are unique in that they care for many different species of animals. In the beginning, veterinarians were critical to supporting the horses and mules that transported our army. But before the 20th century, army veterinarians began to inspect the meat and dairy products that were headed for soldiers' plates. This mission has grown and is now one of the Army Veterinary Service's largest responsibilities. Army veterinarians, food safety warrant officers, and food inspection specialists inspect and provide guidance for DOD food production, storage, and distribution around the world. While they still care for military horses, army veterinarians and animal health specialists work in clinics on DOD installations to care for military working animals as well as our pets. Our veterinarians also support innovative research and have played a critical role in our fight against COVID-19. To all the members of the U.S. Army Veterinary Service, past and present, we're proud you're on our team. You make Army Medicine Army Strong. Happy Birthday, Army Veterinary Corps!
