Erik Oswald, an Army veteran, works in our St. George office and shared: “My military service taught me self confidence, discipline, resilience, the power of teamwork, how to manage stress and that I can do hard things. Never miss an opportunity to say I love you or make that phone call. Seeing the hardship and life in other countries has made me truly appreciate things and the love I have for this country.” Thank you for your service, Erik!
