"The most significant lesson I have learned is that children are our most important natural resource and our legacy.  To make our nation great and build a safer world we must value and invest in all our children.  We must endeavor to provide opportunities to allow each child to succeed and achieve their potential. If we continue to fail in this effort our future is in great peril.”
