Thank you to our favorite veteran - my dad.
"I stuck to it until I got it done." That's my dad, sharing a few of his stories of being in the United States Navy in the 1960s.  Growing up I experienced first hand his determination, his grit, and most certainly his pride in our country.  On this episode, my daughter Reilly and I sit down with our favorite veteran on Veteran's day November 11, 2024 to ask a few questions about what it was like to go through boot camp and live on the bottom of an aircraft carrier.  My dad shares his experiences from "A School" becoming a Machinest Mate, restoring the USS Beverly Reed, bunk rooms, mess halls, and powering the USS Forrestal aircraft carrier from the engine room.  AND dating my mom before their was a world wide web, email, or smart phones...waiting in line at a payphone, and the art of the a love letter.   A year later, Veterans Day, November 11, 2025 we release this episode in honor of my dad, and all active service members.  Today is a day we set aside to honor you - but let's remember that gratitude doesn't live on a calendar.  Every day is an opportunity to thank someone for their service.  As you move through this day, pause for a moment of appreciation - and ask yourself, what will you do with the gift of this day to show your gratitude?   Thank you dad, I love you!
