Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day isn’t just a break—it’s a time to honor the hard work and commitment that fuel our progress every day.

Labor Day makes me think of my Uncle John, a man who, at 86 years young, truly is the epitome of hard work.

He is a “triple pension-blue collar” guy having served for 25+ years in the New York City police force, the United States Army, and the United States Post Office. Uncle John did all this while raising five kids, leading to 22 grandkids and now great-grandchildren.

This Labor Day weekend, we will travel to Uncle John and Aunt Kay’s for their annual Labor Day barbecue, a cherished tradition that’s been going strong for over 50 years.

So, whether you’re off on a weekend getaway or enjoying some downtime at home, use this opportunity to recharge and rejuvenate—something I strongly encourage the VERVE team to do as well. Wishing you safe travels and wonderful new memories this Labor Day!

And a special thank you to Uncle John and all the hardworking Americans out there for everything you do. God bless.
