There you have it! Today is Veterans Day, and I want to say something simple.
Thank you.
To every veteran. To every man and woman serving right now. And to the families who carry the weight at home while someone they love stands a post somewhere far away.
I was born in Marseille. I came to this country with an accent, no connections, and a lot of ambition. I chose America. In 2016, America chose me back.
But here is the part people should never forget.
The freedom I walked into was already paid for. Not by me. By people I will never meet. People who left their own families behind so mine could sleep safe at night.
Every company I built here. Every opportunity I got. Every morning my kids wake up free and safe. Somebody else made that possible.
I saw it up close when I worked with the Air Force and Space Force. Young airmen and guardians doing hard jobs with outdated tools, long hours, and very little recognition. Never complaining. Just getting it done. That changed me.
These people don't do it for the applause. They do it because someone has to.
And let's be honest. Every year, everyone posts the same thing today. I'm doing it too. But we say thank you on November 11th and then we fail them the other 364 days. Too many veterans wait too long for care. Too many sleep on the street. And I believe we spend more helping people who came here illegally than we spend taking care of the ones who earned this country. I did it the legal way. They earned more than that.
So don't let the thanks stop at a post today.
Call the veteran in your life. Buy one lunch. If you run a company, hire one. They show up, they lead, and they don't quit. And check on the ones who came home carrying more than they talk about.
I owe this country more than I can ever repay. The least I can do is say it out loud.
To every veteran and every family behind them: thank you for keeping my family safe.
God bless our troops, and God bless America.
