Memorial Day means something a little deeper in a community like ours.

Here in Coastal Virginia, service and sacrifice are part of everyday life. We live alongside military families, veterans, active duty service members, and those who carry the memory of loved ones who never made it home.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our country and remember the sacrifices made by so many families in our community and beyond. Their legacy will never be forgotten.

🚀 From deep space to the deep sea — innovation in the 757 is anything but ordinary.

At the region’s first State of Innovation Address, leaders highlighted what makes Hampton Roads unique: a place where aerospace, defense, maritime, energy, and logistics don’t just coexist — they connect.

The goal? Build the next generation of companies — including billion-dollar “unicorns” — right here in our region.

This isn’t about one industry.
It’s about an ecosystem.

And it’s already in motion.
