Played around with @bot to map out 250+ years of my family’s military and national service, stretching from the Revolutionary War to today.

20 family members. Nine Revolutionary War veterans. Two killed in action. Some remarkable stories of service and sacrifice across generations.

Pretty incredible to see it all come together.

Few things make me happier these days than seeing VCs invest in national security and hard tech – from robotics, drones, and space to the critical components, manufacturing capacity, and supply chains that underpin them.

We can thank AI for pivoting investors away from inconsequential enterprise SaaS toward reindustrializing America.

Only a few years ago, hardware was a four-letter word in VC. Today, much of SaaS might as well be (literally)!

Nature is healing.

Grateful for and honoring all who have served and defended our great nation.

Particularly grateful for my family’s 250+ years of service – from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, and beyond.

Among them are two killed in action, recipients of the Medal of Honor and Distinguished Flying Cross, and many remarkable stories of selfless service.

Here’s to inspiring future generations of Americans to continue building, defending, and preserving our great nation. 🇺🇸

Happy 251st birthday, @USMC. The best of the best! 🇺🇸💪🏻
