Greetings from Iowa! For the past three months I have spent a considerable amount of time learning about, and reflecting on, the history of the Marshals and the long road to creating a national museum honoring the service, sacrifice, and ideals they have defended since 1789. As I learn more about the Marshals Service, the Marshals Museum, and the many thousands of supporters across the country, I am honored and humbled to serve as its next President/CEO. I look forward to working with our community both regionally and nationally as we complete this project and welcome the public into this amazing facility. Thank you for your support, and I will see you soon! Ben Johnson
