Today on Day 9 of our Thirty Days of Gratitude, we highlight US Navy Veteran Katherine Martinez — a powerful example of leadership, resilience, and gratitude in action.

Katherine shares:

“While I could go on and on about so many things that I'm grateful for in 2025, I'm gonna lean in on a few, and hopefully it'll encourage you to exercise the same. I passed my first bill in 2025 — SJ 250 in Virginia. It taught me so much about my ability to lead, to partner, and focus on the needs within my community. I also recently got to see my younger sister — it’s her birthday today, happy birthday Ash! I met someone special who truly makes me happy, and every day, I get to work with so many amazing and inspiring people. Those are the things I’m grateful for.”

From serving our nation to serving her community, Katherine continues to lead with compassion and gratitude.

Take a moment today to reflect on what you’re grateful for — and tag someone who inspires you to stay thankful.
