Today, I want to take a moment to honor all who have served.
My husband is a veteran, as are both of my parents. My two grandfathers proudly served as well, and I have been blessed to know so many incredible friends and colleagues who have worn the uniform. Their courage, sacrifice, and love for our country inspire me every single day.
Every year, I share this video on my personal page, and this year is no different. During the shutdown years, Rachel was in fifth grade when her school asked students to submit videos for their virtual Veterans Day assembly. She wanted to choreograph a dance to “American Soldier” by Toby Keith.
I helped with a few edits to honor our family and friends who served, but everything else was all her. Even at ten years old, her heart for storytelling through dance shined bright.
Now, she is in high school and still creating, still dreaming, and still finding ways to express herself through art.
Please take a moment to watch her special tribute to all active and veteran military members. It remains one of my favorite projects she has ever created. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Veterans Day, and thank you to every hero who has served and continues to serve.
