Happy Veterans Day! I appreciate this day even more so because of my grandfather and my brother who served in the Marines and the Army, respectively. Both have had a huge, positive impact on my life and inspire me to do my job and live my life with honor, good character and humility. To them and to all who have selflessly served our nation, have a great day.
