“Veterans Day is a reminder to reflect on the service and sacrifices that the 17M veterans and their families have made to ensure the American way of life. It is also a very personal time for me as I reflect on the men and women I served with and met around the world and remember the awe-inspiring way they selflessly served their Country. That reflection and those memories inspire me to be a better husband, father, and leader every day.”
