Today, we welcome U.S. Air Force Veteran David Veros as he shares a powerful reminder that gratitude isn’t just about the good times — it’s about the whole journey.
David reflects on a year filled with positives and negatives, wins and losses, passes and fails — and how each moment played a role in shaping him. Through the Spartan Leadership Program, he learned to return to the root of who he is, so he can show up stronger for his family and community.
This year also taught him to find love in simplicity — like sitting in his favorite spot, cup of coffee in hand, looking out into the woods, and finally understanding why the elders before us sat outside in quiet appreciation.
With a full heart, David shares that he’s grateful for the opportunities, growth, and clarity 2025 brought — and for becoming a better person along the way.
Thank you, David, for your service and for reminding us to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the simple things.
MisFitNation is grateful for you.
