This Agency of American Heroes Celebrates Its Anniversary

The US Customs and Border Patrol celebrated its 95th anniversary on May 28th, when the US Border Patrol was established under Republican President Calvin Coolidge. During all this time, agents have tirelessly policed America’s borders, both North and South, as well as ports of entries on its coasts and airports. Here are some tweets that the agency shared to celebrate its birthday:

After the #BorderPatrol was officially established, the @USDOL and the Bureau of Immigration approved the Border Patrol's first uniform policy on December 11, 1924. The color was identified as "Forestry Green." Read General Order No. 42 in its entirety: https://t.co/8DXQQKEwn9 pic.twitter.com/YI6luKb5pH
