On a separate note, my thanks for your service to this country and my admiration for doing it in such a difficult role. Appreciate it.

And a sincere welcome. I know it is very difficult to change human behavior so more emphasis on preventative health at an earlier age seems prudent. Of course, I also believe that a course in basic business in high school should be mandatory. Knowing how to balance a checkbook and some simple investing would go further then algebra. IMHO
