I’ve always had so much respect for our military. It was an honor to attend the Robert Irvine Red White, and Blue dinner honoring all those members of our military who fight for our freedom, and to be able to speak at the Pentagon in front of 4-star Generals was intimidating and humbling moment. Because of you, we get to do what we love. We cannot say thank you enough.
