[Thread] In 2019, we began the official celebration of our #AmericanMaritimeHeroes! This is our way of honoring the men and women who have made extraordinary contributions to the rich history of the U.S. as a maritime nation.
We first honored Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is acknowledged as the best Transportation Secretary ever for American maritime. Thank you @SecElaineChao! #AmericanMaritimeHeroes americanmaritimeheroes.com/secretary-elai…
