The word “patriot” means so much to me- just saying it, or hearing it, gives me the same proud feeling as the day I chose to serve our nation. That why receiving the Patriot Award from @helpingahero was so special. I’m humbled every time I am surrounded by the true, tangible sacrifices of these adaptive veterans, who are doing so much while missing limbs and eyes- in these moments I feel like a lazy imposter, compared to these American heroes. Their capacity to overcome odds and thrive despite physical limitations is the very definition of “the American dream.”
It was an honor to be in the presence of so many American leaders, like Richard Childress @rcrracing and Johnny Morris @bassproshops, who continue to do so much for our veterans. Always thankful for these opportunities, and being recognized for this award only motivates me more to continue to give all I have for our veterans and our great republic.
