I am grateful for the opportunity to have shared my experiences about life in this country and veterans that made it possible. For those who have requested, here is the speech that I gave to an audience of hundreds at Ingram Micro’s Veterans Day Celebration.

After watching perhaps you’ll understand where my maniacal love for all things America stems from. I will spend the rest of my life espousing my gratitude for our valued veterans in hopes that some portion of our Vietnam vets understand just how much they have impacted our lives — and receive the honor and gratitude they so greatly deserve.

This is the up close version of the video as some may have had issues with the audio quality of the previous video, although in this one the first part of the speech was cut off.
