Memorial Day is a day to memorialize veterans who have fallen in service of the US. We give lots of "Thoughts and Prayers" on that day, but what do we do to actually help veterans? To use "thank" as a verb and not to use "thank" as a thought.

Troy Peterson—a retired Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient—has been doing that with ValorFit to actually give back to veterans. We talk through his service, what Memorial Day means to him, and what ValorFit stands for.
