This Memorial Day, we honor every man and woman who put on the uniform and stood between us and danger.

Some came home. Some didn’t. All sacrificed.

Like James Preston Conant — my uncle — who turned 19 not with cake, but under fire in Vietnam. He didn’t wait to be drafted. He enlisted. He believed in something bigger than himself.

He’s just one story… among millions.

This day isn’t about barbecues. Or sales.
It’s about remembering what freedom costs — and who paid the bill.

So for the ones who came home changed…
For the ones who didn’t come home at all…

We see you. We thank you. We remember you.

🎙 Hear James’s story — and why it still matters — on The Conant Code.
