Special Edition: Standing United - Honoring Courage and Resilience Amid Adversity

Let's unite in appreciation and reflection,

As November unfolds, it brings a time of introspection and thankfulness, highlighted by two significant observances: the United States Marine Corps Birthday (November 10) and Veterans Day (November 11). These moments hold a special place for me as xtype.io's Field Technical Officer and a devoted U.S. Marine Corps veteran. I want to express my most profound respect and awe to each individual among our international teams who have embraced their nation's military uniform in service.

Oorah! Honoring the Legacy of the U.S. Marine Corps

Marking 248 years of integrity, valor, and dedication, the U.S. Marine Corps is a beacon of selfless service, extending beyond safeguarding national boundaries to promoting global harmony and solidifying alliances. As we participate in the cake-cutting tradition, we ponder the profound ethos and solidarity that unite all Marines, whether on active duty or retired. To our xtype Marines, your dedication is a beacon of inspiration, and we genuinely value the unique competencies and relentless drive you contribute to our team.

Veterans Day: Saluting Our Comrades Around the World

While rooted in the 'Semper Fi' philosophy, our commemoration acknowledges that our xtype family is vast and diverse. Veterans Day is a global homage to soldiers past and present, from the French tricolor to the Southern Cross of Australia, representing countless acts of bravery. To our international teammates who have stood or continue to stand in defense, we acknowledge your sacrifices. You have upheld the honor of your nations, extending a bridge of unity across oceans and frontiers.

Strength in Unity: Embracing Our Collective Heritage

The veterans and serving members of various international contingents add an immeasurable depth to xtype's culture. You amplify our community with your leadership, fortitude, and steadfastness—qualities honed in the most stringent environments. Your global insights drive our innovation, guiding xtype through turbulent times with the same grace demonstrated during your national service.

Expressing Our Gratitude: Thank You

To our veterans and those in active service, we hear your tales of perseverance, and we see your commitments. Your decision to uphold principles larger than individual pursuits is a testament to human courage. No matter the flag you stand beneath, we are collectively thankful and greatly respect your actions.

As we mark these notable occasions, I encourage everyone to connect with our peers who have served, offering our gratitude or, more significantly, our empathy and comprehension. Their narratives are integral strands in the rich tapestry of our shared global legacy, contributing immensely to our communal spirit.

For our colleagues presently in the throes of conflict, safeguarding their families and their homelands, we are with you. We acknowledge and commend your unwavering adherence to your solemn oath. We support your pursuit of peace and honor your devotion to duty and integrity.

With the most profound respect and gratitude,

Robert Huckaby
