???? Honoring Veterans Day with Purpose and Legacy This weekend, we honor the service members among us and pay respect to their sacrifices. As a Marine veteran, a husband, and a father, Veterans Day holds a unique meaning for me. When I first left the Marines in 2007, I didn’t want to be recognized as a veteran. To many of us, service isn’t a badge of honor—it’s just a part of our past. Yet, no matter how far behind us it seems, the questions remain: Did it matter? And why? For me, service mattered because it strengthened us to live better, fuller lives—to become better parents, partners, and human beings. Veterans carry a complex toolbox of experiences, each one shaping us in ways we may not yet fully understand. Many veterans come home but, in some ways, never truly feel home. Instead of “thank you for your service,” consider saying, “Welcome home.” Those words might be the first step in their journey back to their family, and back to themselves. For me, being a veteran is about using the tools my service gave me to build a life worthy of those who didn’t make it back. It’s about creating a legacy, a family so strong it makes its own mark. As Steve Jobs said, “We are here to put a dent in the universe.” My hope is that, someday, people will see that dent and know it was left by the Killoy's. On this Veterans Day, I challenge you to see veterans as an inspiration for the life and legacy you want to create—a life filled with adventure, depth, community, and family. Build something that reaches beyond your years and well beyond the years of service we give. This is how we honor veterans on Veterans Day. Ben Killoy??

???? Veterans Day: Ever wondered about its true origins? ???? It all began at the end of World War I. Known then as “The Great War,” it officially concluded with the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. The real end of hostilities came earlier. An armistice took effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month—November 11, 1918. This marked the end of “the war to end all wars.” Since then, November 11 has been dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. ??? But how do you truly honor them? Reach Out to a Veteran → A simple call or message can mean the world. Ask them about their experiences, and listen. ?? Attend a Veterans Day Event → Be part of a community that appreciates their service. It’s not just a ceremony, it’s a shared moment of gratitude. Volunteer at a Veterans' Organization → Many organizations need support. Whether it’s your time or resources, it matters. ?? Educate Yourself and Others → Learn about military history. Share stories of sacrifice and bravery. ?? Support Veteran Owned Businesses → Choose to spend your dollar where it counts. It’s a direct way to say 'thank you'. Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar. It’s about recognizing the sacrifices made for our freedoms. Their unwavering patriotism, love of country, and commitment to serving the greater good deserve our gratitude. So this November 11, let’s not just remember. Let's act. What will you do to honor a veteran? Let's make a difference together. #VeteransDay #HonoringOurHeroes #HistoryMatters #Gratitude
