What does Veterans Day mean to you personally?
Being thankful for all that have served and are currently serving our country.
How has your military experience influenced your career and life today?
I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force, which has little to do with the skills that I currently need to do my job. But being in the military taught that I could face hard challenges and overcome them.
