As we continue to celebrate our veteran team members this week, we're proud to highlight Kyle Gregg, a Marine Corps veteran and a valuable part of the Bone Dry Roofing team. Inspired by his father and family members who served, Kyle joined the Marines and spent four active years, including a humanitarian mission to Pakistan in 2010 & 2015. It was a transformative experience, exposing him to a beautiful culture and lifelong friendships he cherishes to this day. Kyle's time in the military taught him invaluable skills in organization, communication, and teamwork—qualities he brings to every project here at Bone Dry. "The military taught me to never start a task without fully understanding the details, the team roles, and the plan," he says. His leadership approach is all about leading by example and showing his team how it's done. For Kyle, Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served, past and present, and to honor the bond they share. We're grateful for Kyle's dedication, both in service to his country and now as part of our Bone Dry family. His love for problem-solving and working outdoors, along with his commitment to getting each job done right, makes him a true asset to our team. Thank you, Kyle, for your service and for the heart you bring to Bone Dry Roofing. We're proud to have you with us! Stay tuned as we continue sharing the stories of the incredible veterans who make up our team.

Medal of Honor Monday. Elmer Charles Bigelow was a United States Navy sailor whose heroic actions during World War II remain a testament to selflessness and bravery. On February 14, 1945, while aboard the USS Fletcher near Corregidor in the Philippines, a Japanese shell hit the ship, causing a devastating fire that threatened to detonate the ship’s ammunition magazine. Without concern for his own safety, Bigelow rushed into the flames armed only with a fire extinguisher. He fought the fire with determination, preventing a catastrophe that could have claimed the lives of many sailors. Bigelow’s injuries were severe, and despite his valiant efforts, he succumbed to them the next day. For his incredible courage and sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. ??Lesson for Our Lives Elmer Bigelow’s story serves as a powerful reminder that true leadership often requires immediate, decisive action. He didn’t wait for others to solve the problem—he stepped up, understanding that lives were at risk. In our personal and professional lives, we can all take a page from Bigelow’s book. Whether it’s in the workplace or in our communities, being proactive and stepping into difficult situations can make all the difference. This week, think about how you can embody courage and leadership in your own life. When challenges arise, are you willing to take the necessary steps, even if they come with personal risk? Sometimes, leadership is about choosing to act when others might hesitate.

As a Navy veteran of the immediate post 9/11 era, every Veterans Day is an opportunity to consider my experiences and glean a lesson or feeling of gratitude towards my country and the benefits of military service. This year I recognized my Navy service immersed me in the most authentic and tolerant community of people I’ve ever been around before or since. Sailors and Marines from all walks of life and every identity you could imagine. Like all of humanity, everyone was flawed and everyone was incredibly unique. This being the Navy, most were sleep-deprived, nearly everyone was cynical to a point (the Navy is a giant bureaucracy after all), and the concept of ‘hurry up and wait’ was a way of life, not an occasional annoyance. People who bickered about everything for seemingly every moment I had serving alongside them worked alongside one another without fail and often in incredibly challenging conditions, solving nasty problems and facing them head-on. Then they returned to denigrating each other’s taste in music, partners, or Halo/Madden skills. People who could not be more different (a pious Mormon and a perpetually foul-mouthed car thief given the classic ‘military or prison’ choice by a Boston judge) becoming the best of friends. The humbling sensation of being 19 and watching someone barely older than you perform a complicated series of tasks with total mastery (like performing vital maintenance on a jet engine) and then seeing them skillfully teach others, including people more than a decade older than them, without the older people feeling put-upon or inferior. It is harder and harder to find places in American life where so many kinds of people in a work or life setting are lumped together and have to work together outside of comfort zones and self-selected ideological or cultural bubbles. Where people of different skills, education levels, and experiences work togther in unison towards a common purpose. We need more of that.

David’s thoughts about Colonel Puckett are right on the money. I have also memorized him in a Substack article published today that provides some personal details. It is here: https://lnkd.in/eeuBk53m
Today, our nation lost one of its great heroes. There will be hundreds of well earned and heartfelt tributes to Col. (R) Ralph Puckett Jr., this is mine. Col. Puckett passed away today at the age of 97 at his home in Columbus, Ga., after a lifetime of service, both on and off the battlefield. Yes, he was awarded numerous medals for heroism, including a long overdue Medal of Honor, but it was his life off the battlefield that meant just as much to so many. Col. Puckett mentored generations of American soldiers, particularly US Army Rangers. Despite the fact that he was one of the most decorated soldiers alive Col. Puckett spent decades of his life mentoring those who came after him while never asking for anything in return. Whether it was joining Rangers training in the field, traveling overseas on both training and combat operations, or providing one-on-one mentorship to individual Rangers Col. Puckett was never too busy, or too important, to give his time. We first met when I was a new Private graduating into the 75th Ranger Regiment. Our relationship grew for the next 27 years in a deep and meaningful way. I will miss him terribly. The simplest way I can say it is Col. Puckett didn’t just set a standard, he is the standard. RLTW sir. ???? **UPDATE** Congress has announced that Col Puckett will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol on April 29th. Link to article in comments. ——————————————————— *Pictured are Corporal Lucas escorting Col. Puckett at 1st Ranger Battalion, ca. 1998. Second is Sep 2022 at the MoH Convention. I was commanding a Special Forces Battalion and he was a MoH recipient.

Sean Mahoney joined WIN Waste in March 2024 as a Performance Engineer and is a member of the WIN Military Community. In addition to his role at WIN, Sean serves as a Strategic Sealift Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, using his experience as a licensed Merchant Marine Officer to serve as an Engineering Officer aboard Combat Logistics Fleet ships. He also serves as a Tactical Advisor aboard merchant ships carrying military cargo, advising crews in contested maritime environments. With 7 years of service and 3 deployments, Sean’s military career has shaped his understanding of commitment, sacrifice, and resilience. ?Branch: U.S. Navy ?Rank: O-3 Lieutenant ?Years of service: 7 ?Deployments: Operation Karat 2018, Native Fury 2020, Defender Europe 2021, and multiple Joint Logistics Over the Shore exercises ?? What Sean wants those without military experience or connections to know: “Serving goes beyond just a career. It’s a life-defining commitment, and that commitment comes along with demands that are mental and emotional. Many veterans carry experiences that are challenging to explain, and adjusting to civilian life is an ongoing process. So, recognizing the sacrifices made by service members and their families is important and a willingness to listen can make a real difference.” ?? How the military has affected Sean’s personal life: “You spend a lot of time away from home, missing out on events and holidays. As a sailor, I spent a significant amount of time at sea and that can be extremely isolating. You often don’t have any kind of communication back home and are just no contact for long periods of time, which can be difficult for everybody. You may expect to return on a certain date, but it usually ends up being a lot longer than you planned. You kind of end up putting your life on hold until you get back, which can take a toll over time.” ?? Sean’s perspective on transitioning back to civilian life: “It’s a big change going from that regimented lifestyle where everything is planned out and executed at a certain time to going to civilian work where there is more freedom and you’re more on your own. That took me awhile to get used to. As far as advice, don’t be afraid to ask questions as you learn how to adjust to that.” Thank you for your service, Sean. #VeteransDay #employeespotlight

I think it's fair to say many of us try to lead by example... Well, what if there was a better way? In the words of Lt. Col. John Lock, US Army, Retired, in reference to the passing of the legendary Col. Ralph Puckett, "I would rather say [he] lived by example." "The difference being that ‘leading by example’ can be defined as modeling the actions and behaviors one wants others to see and emulate, while ‘living by example’ reflects one’s beliefs via actions and daily life, meaning always doing what you are supposed to do, when you are supposed to do it, even if no one is there to see.” While the difference is subtle, living by example means it is part of your being and removes the conscious decision to act a certain way with an extrinsic goal. This was a common lesson taught throughout my time in the Ranger Regiment - always do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Making the transition from "emulating" to "living" by example is possible but not without its daily challenges. The impact and lives you can influence by living as an example are crucial to upholding a standard of strong character in both our personal and professional lives.

James C. Collins called this "The Stockdale Paradox," after Admiral James Stockdale. Stockdale was a United States Navy aviator who was shot down during the Vietnam war, on September 9, 1965. He was held as a Prisoner of War (P.O.W.) in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" until his release in 1973. When Collins asked Stockdale about the P.O.W.s who didn't survive, Stockdale replied: "Oh, that's easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, 'We're going to be out by Christmas.' And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they'd say, 'We're going to be out by Easter.' And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart. This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be." The key takeaway from the Stockdale Paradox is that maintaining faith and hope is crucial, but it must be coupled with a clear-eyed assessment of the current situation and a willingness to confront and adapt to the harsh realities as they are. This balanced approach can help individuals and organizations navigate through adversity with resilience and determination. #leadershipdevelopment #constructionleadership #personalgrowth

As a military veteran, I’m filled with a sense of pride for having served, but there’s also an underlying feeling that I didn’t do enough. It’s strange stepping away from a role so deeply embedded that it felt as apart of my life. The Marine Corps exceeded its expectations in making me a person who only wants to achieve excellence; as I realize there’s a huge part of me that feels like I could have given a whole lot more. The lessons, the discipline, the camaraderie, and the resilience I gained during my time in service have shaped who I am today, and I know the experience will stay with me forever. But as I look back, I sometimes wonder: “Could I have done more to help those around me? Could I have pushed harder, been more present, or contributed in ways I didn’t?” That sense of “unfinished business” will forever linger, constantly reminding me that no matter how much I gave, there’s always more to be done, more to learn, more to give. I know I’m not alone in these feelings. The work we did is immeasurable, but the journey doesn’t always feel complete. However, I hold on to the pride of having served, and I look forward to finding new and exciting ways to give back and continue making an impact in life. #NewVeteran #MilitaryPride #VeteranJourney #ServiceAndSacrifice #GratitudeAndGrowth #Veterans
