The 82nd anniversary of D-Day commemorations have come to a close.

It is beyond an honor to be a part of @bestdefensefoundation ‘s mission of taking care of the ones who took care of us. This year, we brought 27 WWII veterans back to the shores where they made history. A handful of which had never been back since 1944. It is so moving to see the French people’s appreciation for these veterans, and to help give them the closure they so rightfully deserve. I’ve learned so much from taking part in these programs, about history and about life, and made friendships that will last a lifetime. There are no words that can fully express what it means or feels like to walk beside these heroes as they return to the places where they fought to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. We should never take their sacrifices for granted.

I want to thank the whole BDF team, our founders Donnie and Kathryn, the caregivers, medical staff, executive team, historians, sponsors @delta @michelin @vetclaims.ai, NextGen, Moussa and of course the veterans themselves. It takes a team effort to make these battlefield returns possible, and that team has become a family. To the @bdf_nextgen group, it’s been such a pleasure watching our team grow and flourish. Let’s keep telling their stories and make sure that history never fades away.

Happy Veterans Day! This past weekend, I had the incredible honor of working the annual conference, American Valor: A Salute to Our Heroes with @americanveteranscenter. At this event, we hosted veterans of WWII and Rosie the Riveters, as well as veterans from the Korean War, Vietnam, and Afghanistan who shared their stories through panels and interviews, along with first responders to the attacks on 9/11. I got to hear many inspiring stories of courage, sacrifice, and leadership from these extraordinary men and women, and am grateful to have experienced it all among friends from around the world. Thank you @m_marty for this remarkable opportunity.
Be sure to thank a veteran today. #veteransday #valor taken in Washington D. C. by @rileyy.petersen
