On this significant day, Day 11 of our journey, we pause to honor something greater than ourselves. Today is Veterans Day — a time when we bow our heads in gratitude to the millions of brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect the ideals of our nation.

Looking around today’s America, we might see challenges and division. Yet the foundation remains solid — our Constitution, crafted to ensure power stays with the people. This document isn’t just words on parchment; it’s a living testament to the principles our veterans have defended with their lives.

In times of uncertainty, many find strength in their faith, turning to God when earthly solutions fall short. This spiritual backbone has supported countless service members through their darkest hours and continues to guide many today.

There’s wisdom in the saying, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Our veterans understood this truth deeply. They stood firm for our freedoms, our rights, and our way of life. Their unwavering commitment reminds us that conviction matters, that principles are worth defending.

As we take on new challenges and push forward with our own revolution — the #SmokingChickenFish movement — we draw inspiration from their example. Their courage teaches us that now is always the time to stand up for what we believe in. There’s no waiting for the perfect moment; the time for action is present.

The battles we face today may be different, but the spirit of determination remains the same. Like our veterans, we must face our challenges head-on, united in purpose and strong in resolve.

This is indeed our time. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. Not because success is guaranteed, but because the effort is worthwhile. In honoring our veterans today, we commit ourselves to being worthy of their sacrifices, to building something meaningful on the foundation they helped protect.

Let their service remind us that great achievements require great sacrifice, unwavering dedication, and an unshakeable belief in something bigger than ourselves.
