For this week's #WorkforceWednesday, we join Matthew Deneau, who transitioned to a role as a hand receipt manager starting Feb. 2024. Matthew began a career with #TeamLEAD in 2010, joining the Directorate of Supply and Transportation as a preservation servicer. In his current position, he oversees the inventory of property book items utilized by other depot personnel. He also served in the U.S. Army National Guard as a combat medic from 2007 to 2013. During his service, Matthew deployed to Iraq to aid Army infantry personnel from 2008 to 2009. Matthew's years of service to his country as a Soldier and an #ArmyCivilian is a testament to his character. #JoinUs in thanking him for all he does to support the mission! #BeAllYouCanBe

On June 21, Col.

The Directorate of Information Management's Systems Division is transitioning the Information Data Processing Center to a more modern facility capable of providing better security, environmental stability and power redundancy. The transition will allow information technology personnel to better protect investments in data processing equipment and ensure reliable connectivity for future network systems, assuring the depot's ability to meet the needs of an evolving Army. #ContinuousTransformation #ArmyReadiness

Today, we observe Juneteenth to celebrate the end of slavery throughout the United States, June 19, 1865. Considered the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," Opal Lee is a retired teacher, counselor and activist who campaigned for decades to make the observance a federal holiday. In Sep. 2016, she led a symbolic four-month walk from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., to promote her cause. On June 17, 2021, Juneteenth became the latest federal holiday since the recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday in 1983. Juneteenth reminds us that the nation and its military services, including the U.S. Army, are forever committed to upholding and protecting the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for every American citizen. #Juneteenth
