My dad was a federal law enforcement officer and my mom is a nurse. They’ve modeled the value of service every day.

Regardless of your faith, wishing all of you and your loved ones the blessings of Diwali, the majestic and luminescent Festival of Lights!

This year its meaning — the prevailing of goodness and humanity over its opposite — is even more poignant.

Happiest Diwali!
