For 250 years, America has been a beacon of hope, opportunity, and freedom for people from every corner of the world.

In today's episode of The Field Op, I reflect on what this country has meant to me as an immigrant who became a United States Marine, why the military remains one of the greatest examples of unity in America, and how this year's World Cup has given us a unique perspective—allowing us to see our country through the eyes of visitors experiencing it for the first time.

Sometimes it takes someone from another country to remind us of the things we've stopped appreciating: our hospitality, our freedom, our diversity, and the opportunities that still make America unlike any other nation on earth.

This isn't about politics.

It's about gratitude, citizenship, service, and remembering what unites us as Americans.

Happy 250th Birthday to the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known.
