Our nation and our leaders can achieve new levels of creativity. The ability to remain proactive and to find new answers to new found problem-sets. In the heart of almost every human, is the desire to contribute. The sense of purpose each day that gives a person hope.
If you are a Leader somewhere, in a "Capital City" or on the front lines in an austere environment on earth or in space, you must remain vigilant. We are counting on you for our countries future and for our children. Those young minds who are yet to know what their real role will be in life.
When you look into the eyes of a new born baby, in their first week of life, what do you see?

How will we change the way we utilize our institutions of learning, our military and our governments to provide the systems and the environments for the innovations of our next generations?
