Veterans’ Day:Thank you to ALL our men and women who serve!

I want to personally take a moment to thank all who serve our nation here domestically and abroad. Also to all those veterans who once served this nation, many offering the ultimate sacrifice to ensure America secures true Freedom.   I have had the honor to visit 300 military bases world wide the past ten years, and I am truly humbled to meet so many determined, noble and inspirational men and women who day in and day out, display honor and pride to the United States of America.  I will never take my freedom for granted. My family and I owe so much to each of you.  Thank you.

Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners: Jessica Stricker and Todd Hickox!!

Thank you to all you Sailors and civilians who joined me in the Aerotheater today.  You guys were so much fun!  I hope you had a few laughs and enjoyed a new approach to “training”.  NAS Oceana is the east coast home of the U.S. Navy’s fighter-attack jet fleet. Located right in the heart of Virginia Beach, the base is a hub of activity vital to projecting the nation’s air power in hot spots worldwide. Thank you for the opportunity Marie and colleagues 🙂  See pics from today’s training below
