🇺🇸 This is the greatest country in the World.

Happy Monday Fam and Happy Memorial Day,

I just wanted to take a moment and share some gratitude and a reflection with you.

This is truly the greatest country in the world — we have the opportunity to create, build and live a life completely by our own design.

Yes, work is required.

No, it will not be easy.

But, the only thing standing in our way is ourselves — the dream is very much alive and within our grasp… we just have to reach out and seize it.

It is a beautiful thing.

My wife Stella is Brazilian and we are currently in the process of getting her citizenship and I’m reminded of just how great this country is and what a blessing it is to call the USA home — I’ve often taken it for granted and overlooked how much opportunity is available to us and how much we have compared to the rest of the world.

… and like all great things it is paid with heavy cost.

Nothing great, nothing withstanding and nothing worthwhile is achieved without sacrifice.

Whatever side you stand on in the matters of war and peace, if you’re standing on US soil you are here because of the sacrifice the men and woman of our US Military have given.

There lives, their time, their families, their hopes, their dreams — all so we can do something with it.

What a waste it would be to not do something with it.

In honor of Memorial Day, I just want to take a moment to honor those that paid the ultimately price to give us the freedom we so enjoy.

My deepest appreciation to those that gave their lives, gratitude and condolences to the families and a gentle nudge to everyone else to make something meaningful of it.

Much love,

E
