Perhaps most importantly, we've really stepped into ourselves, owning who we are and pursuing our big dreams for the future of HALCON. Frankly, it is quite surreal and we are counting our lucky stars every day. To our clients, thank you for trusting us growing with us and supporting us We're truly grateful. Cheers to the next 6 years of #TeamHALCON
