Great to be at Eastbrook High School in Marion, Indiana, to honor our veterans and thank them for their service. The Panther band and choir shared musical tributes, and I was very moved to be a part of the ceremony. As we prepare to commemorate Veteran's Day next week, I hope you'll look for ways to thank veterans in your life. We owe them so much.
