places in america, right? that's one reason why a lot of, there's a lot of companies that are interested in military leaders, because these values you learned about dislin and integrity -- discipline and integrity and looking out for people, sacrificing for the people who work for you and doing the right thing. in the army they say we need leadership, not likership. so doing the right thing whether it's popular or unpopular. and doing your best, attention to detail, right? really -- so when you're in the military, i think it's important to understand even public speaking is another example. army really -- i was a terrible public speaker when i entered west point. but the military, they train you well, and they give you a lot of confidence, and they give you a lot of skills. so just think about how everything you learned in the military can just really set you up for life. and if you're interested in activism, a military background gives you a lot of tools you can use and a lot of insight into

problems our country's facing. so we need, we need good military people, good veterans in areas of our country who have that idea of servant leadership and service to others and who care more about doing the right thing than what's popular and who care more about integrity than things that mislead people into dangerous territory. so i just hope that if you want to talk to me afterward, i'm here for a while. so feel free to come talk to me afterward. and it's almost 12:30. the last point i want to make, i have a web site, peacefulrevolution.com. i work in santa barbara, california, our mission is to abolish nuclear weapons, so i teach a 40-hour course in peace leadership and waging peace, waging peace skills are life skills, and in this critical point in human history, we need leaders who have the servant mentality, who are willing to oppose injustice, push our country and planet forward because so much is at stake now.

i offer peace training in different areas. if you're interested, my web site's peacefulrevolution.com, and i'm really grateful to salem state this they have this peace program. another way to get involved is to enter a peace program in your area. the fact that veterans are here, it's just really hopeful, hopeful feeling for me. so i just want to thank everybody for being here and taking the time. feel free to talk to me afterward if you have any questions. thank you.
