role as being the best parents to our children in making sure they had a country that was -- where the american dream was still possible. a lot of concerns we had that karen and i had particularly for our family was that with what was going on in washington, d.c. and all of the problems that you heard me talk about on the campaign trail that american dream was slipping not just from the hands of average americans, but for all americans. that dream was slipping away. and we had to, as good parents to go out and do what we could to take on that responsibility for our children and for children across this country. so we started out almost a year ago now in somerset, pennsylvania. and i told my story, our story of our family. my grandfather, who came to this country and worked in the

coal mines. and my father who served this country in world war two. and talked about my stories and the stories of our families. after a while it became less about my stories and more about what kept us going were your stories. stories of people across america that we had the privilege of getting a chance to know and interact with. when you -- we travel around one such story was a guy named chuck who had a pick-up truck and joined our team. and drove us around in his dodge pick-up truck for months and did so as a volunteer because he believed that we provided the best opportunity to turn this country around. i met a lot of folks in iowa that i will never forget. folks like sam clovis a talk show host.
