Veterans Day - A Message from the Founder

Photo: Korea, 2nd Infantry Div. (89-90 / 92-93)

This Veterans Day, for the lifelong lessons, principles and values I learned while serving in our stellar military,  I will forever be grateful.  Like in life, there were good times, bad times, ups and downs. The attitude and mindset of ‘NEVER QUIT’ resonates

deep within my core & being, I do my absolute best to apply it to everything I do and teach.  I thank the military for teaching me this attitude and way of life.  I thank the military for teaching me what discipline, duty, honor, self-sacrifice, teamwork and mission accomplishment truly means.  I Thank the military for teaching me the meaning of ‘ALL ONE TEAM’ & what to ‘SERVE’ means.

These life long lessons that I apply to both my personal and professional life cannot be taught in a class room or learned from a book. They must be LIVED and EXPERIENCED. I Thank the military for giving me those experiences.  Especially the extra challenging and difficult ones. 

Having served our great country and its people was and always will be the greatest memory and honor I will ever have and cherish.

This Veterans Day, I send out a big Salute and Thank You to all of my fellow brothers and sisters that have served this day, as I do everyday.  HOOAH!!!

In Good Health,

Sgt. Alec Hunter
