Thanks for Your Service

 

Thank you to all of you who served in our United States or Allied Armed Forces.

Military service is certainly one of the greatest and highest callings, and expressions of the word itself- “serve”.

I am grateful I had the great honor of serving our great nation…

and proud of and grateful for all the men and women down through the ages, and up to and including those still serving today, that allow us to live under the blessings of freedom and prosperity.

And I am grateful for all those that will step forward and answer the call in our future too.

After all, it is true that freedom isn’t free.

 

But on this day I want to acknowledge and thank all who serve this great country.

The servicemen and women for sure, and the teachers, administrators, first responders, business people, parents, and all who choose to serve their fellow man.

 

Because, we are all called to serve in some way.

As proud as I am of my military service, and grateful for what it contributed to me becoming the man I am today, I am at least as proud about my service through my leadership development academy, Krav Maga Martial Arts.

 

We create confident and competent Blackbelt Leaders, prepared to survive and thrive in any situation, and empowered to lead, where they’re at and into their futures.

Some of them will serve as leaders in the military, and others in other capacities.

But all will serve with confidence and competence, serving our country, and leading the way.

 

Today I am proud and grateful to get to sow into their future.

 

 

Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
