🌟 Honoring Veterans Day: A Reminder of Resilience & Compassion 🌟 As we celebrate our veterans, let’s also commit to fostering a culture of empathy and support. Let’s not only recognize their sacrifices but also reflect on a vital truth: everyone has struggles that go unseen. A simple act of kindness, a listening ear, or a few words of encouragement can have a profound impact on someone’s day. Make someone smile today.💓

My Veterans Day message usually goes something like this... "to all who came before me, stood with me, and those after me... Happy Veterans Day." However, this year I'm feeling a bit more contemplative. I owe a lot to my service: my humility - there's nothing more humbling than knowing there's a better way to execute but not being in charge so you have to do things in an inefficient or incongruent manner to how you see it; my leadership - imagine entering the military as an officer which implies knowledge and abilities that may or may not have been acquired; my vision - to execute plans appropriately those plans have to incorporate both short, mid-range, and long-term effects; and my defiance with a smile - you'd be surprised how much you can get away with when you're a good person with a smile (its actually more difficult to say no to a happy person). Thus, I would not be where I am today without the opportunity to serve this country and learn from the many experiences, some good and some bad. Nevertheless, because of it, I stand ready every day to serve my company W2 Consulting Corporation, our clients, and our employees. Happy Veterans Day! 🫡

🇺🇸 Honoring Veterans Day with Purpose and Legacy This weekend, we honor the service members among us and pay respect to their sacrifices. As a Marine veteran, a husband, and a father, Veterans Day holds a unique meaning for me. When I first left the Marines in 2007, I didn’t want to be recognized as a veteran. To many of us, service isn’t a badge of honor—it’s just a part of our past. Yet, no matter how far behind us it seems, the questions remain: Did it matter? And why? For me, service mattered because it strengthened us to live better, fuller lives—to become better parents, partners, and human beings. Veterans carry a complex toolbox of experiences, each one shaping us in ways we may not yet fully understand. Many veterans come home but, in some ways, never truly feel home. Instead of “thank you for your service,” consider saying, “Welcome home.” Those words might be the first step in their journey back to their family, and back to themselves. For me, being a veteran is about using the tools my service gave me to build a life worthy of those who didn’t make it back. It’s about creating a legacy, a family so strong it makes its own mark. As Steve Jobs said, “We are here to put a dent in the universe.” My hope is that, someday, people will see that dent and know it was left by the Killoy's. On this Veterans Day, I challenge you to see veterans as an inspiration for the life and legacy you want to create—a life filled with adventure, depth, community, and family. Build something that reaches beyond your years and well beyond the years of service we give. This is how we honor veterans on Veterans Day.

🎖 Honoring Veterans and Celebrating Legacy As we reflect on service and sacrifice, I want to share a few things that being a Veteran taught me—lessons that extend well beyond the military. During my time in uniform, I learned about discipline, resilience, and teamwork in ways that shape how I approach every challenge. Military life didn’t just prepare me to serve my country—it taught me how to approach every aspect of my life with purpose and integrity. From strategic planning to mentoring others, these lessons continue to guide my journey. Today, I apply those same principles in helping teams and individuals craft their own visions and build paths to their goals. Veterans have unique perspectives that bring resilience and resolve to any environment, and I’m proud to carry that legacy forward in my work. Veterans Day is a reminder that service doesn’t end when we leave the military. It’s about applying what we’ve learned and continuing to make an impact—whether on a team, in a community, or in personal growth. To my fellow Veterans—how has your service shaped your journey? Let’s share and celebrate the ways we’re all still making a difference.
