Colleagues:
As executive-level officers of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (Corps), Flag officers exemplify the core values for which commissioned officers are known. We are pleased to announce that, with our recommendation, Secretary Sebelius has approved 19 officers for Flag grade promotions, effective 17 August 2012. The promotion of these officers reinforces the Corps’ public health leadership and that of the Department of Health and Human Services. We hope that their extraordinary efforts to reach this level of accomplishment will serve as an inspiration to others.
Please join us in congratulating these fine officers!
