This morning, the U.S. Secretary of Defense
thanked the patriots of the defense industrial base for keeping critical supply chains operating throughout COVID-19. Your dedication and sacrifice has allowed us to carry out our national security mission. “We recognize that small business is the foundation of innovation and creativity in our Industrial Base, making up nearly 75 percent of DoD’s prime contractors. And, of the roughly 1.6 million private sector jobs that support national defense, approximately 45 percent belong to small businesses. Rest assured that we will continue to do everything in our power to assist you, every step of the way.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1284125709724717066
