You are going to host us out there in Denver. We are going to make a mile-high difference there for young people, and I very much look forward to that. At these conversations that we have had under the #futureforum, whether they are in the audience or they are tweeting at us, what we have learned is that young people today--veterans and just millennials alike--right now, their top issues, I believe, from what we have heard, are student loan debt, access to entrepreneurship, equality and making sure that we have equal pay for equal work, as well as climate change. When it comes to veterans, every audience we were in front of had a veteran there, and every audience thought we weren't doing enough to take care of our veterans. I think the message I want to put out there tonight--and continue the conversation on social media under #futureforum--is we must stand up and serve our veterans as well as they have stood up and served us as a country. Mr. Polis, I will leave it to you for any closing thoughts on how we can best serve our veterans.
