Today, we stand united in honoring the brave men and women who have committed themselves to a cause greater than their own comfort. Their sacrifices protect the freedoms we hold dear, and it is our duty to recognize their unwavering dedication. As a veteran-owned business, we deeply understand the challenges of serving in the armed forces. These individuals are more than just Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airman, Guardsman, or Guardians; they are examples of resilience, leadership, and commitment that inspire us all. Let us take a moment to reflect on their courage and express our gratitude for their service. Together, we can ensure that their legacy lives on by supporting veteran initiatives and fostering an inclusive environment for those who have served. How will you honor our veterans today?

Today, as we honor Memorial Day, let's also recognize the single parents who serve or have served in our armed forces. Balancing parenting duties with the call of duty requires immense courage and resilience.  To all military single parents, your strength and sacrifices inspire us daily.

If you are a founder who is thinking about what to do next have a read of Arthur Herman’s Freedom’s Forge. Thank you to Tom Gole who recommended this book to me way back when we were working together at Go1. It truly was one of the catalysts for my move into the defence space and why I think more second time founders should consider the same. As startup founders in the tech space, particularly in SaaS, many of us view the importance of speed and scale as givens, but in defence it’s a non-obvious weapon that is getting more traction as a fundamental pillar. The concept of “product velocity” in defence industry is not a new concept as Freedom’s Forge shows, but it is a concept that seems to be undergoing a renaissance. It’s also the reason why every new hire at Black Sky Industries gets a copy as part of their welcome pack.

I recently finished Arthur Herman’s book ‘Freedom’s Forge’ about how President Franklin Roosevelt energized the nation’s defense industrial base well before the attack on Pearl Harbor. In the mid-1930s, America was not prepared. But America changed that, through a massive build-up, involving military, industry, and every-day American citizens. In many ways, we are an environment similar to the 1930s. I want to ensure we have the defense industrial base that can produce capability when we need it. We need to have some level of consistency. If we have consistency in demand and resources, that builds trust. By building that trust, the defense industrial base can build out their work force, supply chain, and their facilities. If we're able to do this, then we are going to get our capability much faster, on time, and less expensive. The Department has laid out a National Defense Industrial Strategy that talks about our workforce and our supply chains. We want to make sure we understand how we're able to build up the capability and capacity that will be put it into the hands of our war fighters and to ensure any fight we might enter will be unfair.
