Veterans Affairs @DeptVetAffairs
On June 19, 1865, Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger landed in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order 3, declaring "all slaves are free" and enforcing The Emancipation Proclamation. On this #Juneteenth, we honor all Veterans who fought for freedom and equality. https://t.co/W6maZxRtMj — PolitiTweet.org
