American Pakistani Advocacy Group (APAG) recently gave away recognition award to Adeel Rana, New York Police Department Inspector, on the eve of 250th anniversary of US.
“Honored and humbled to receive this prestigious award from APAG during the celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America, said Rana in a post on X.
“This recognition is not just a personal honor, it is a testament to the opportunities this great nation provides to people from every background. As an immigrant, a US Army veteran, and an NYPD inspector, I am grateful to have had the privilege of serving the country that has given so much to my family and to millions of others,” the awardee said.
America’s greatest strength has always been its diversity. When people from different cultures, faiths, and backgrounds come together with a shared commitment to service, unity, and freedom, we build stronger communities and a stronger nation.
“My sincere thanks to Ali Rashid and entire APAGUSA team for this meaningful recognition and for their continued work in empowering and uplifting the Pakistani-American community. Congratulations to all of the honorees, and here’s to celebrating 250 years of freedom, opportunity, and the promise that the best is yet to come,” the NYPD inspector noted.
