Happy Veterans Day, North Carolina!  
 
Our veterans show us the true meaning of service. They put others before themselves and remind us of the power of honor, courage, and integrity.  
 
This Veterans Day, and every day, I am grateful for their service and continued contributions to North Carolina.
