CIA Director John Ratcliffe simply stated the obvious:
“These heroes came from all walks of American life… Their records span not just the globe, but the entire history of CIA.
Some of their identities are known to the wider world. Others, only to us.
But taken together, their sacrifices have set a timeless standard of patriotism and courage – one that endures through the ages here at Langley.”
Not a single star was added.
Stay tuned!
