As the November chill sets in and we prepare for a month of gratitude, our hearts turn toward those whose sacrifice makes our security possible. This month, we are profoundly humbled to feature a man who embodies the very best of courage and commitment: Ben Vietenheimer, our honored Veteran for November.
Ben is more than just a name on a cover. He is a testament to the quiet strength that upholds our nation's freedom. He is a living reminder that the peace and security we enjoy in our homes, and the liberty we exercise every day, are never free. They are purchased with the dedication, bravery, and unwavering resolve of people like Ben, who chose to put the safety of strangers before their own comfort.
But this spotlight isn’t just on Ben. It’s on his incredible family—the foundation that supported him through thick and thin. Military families serve alongside their loved ones in ways we can barely comprehend: the empty chairs at dinner tables, the missed milestones, the constant worry, and the enduring strength required to hold the home front together. They are heroes in their own right.
