Dan, you were the commencement speaker at my graduation at Boston University in May 1983. I had earned a master's degree in Education, an accomplishment that had seemed impossible for a first generation college student like me from a working class background. The rain pelted down as you received an honorary doctorate and then delivered your speech. To be honest, I don't remember the content of the speech (as you observed!), but I remember how it made me feel. I felt so inspired and honored to have had the opportunity to be in the same space with someone I admired even at that young age. I feel the same today as I continue to follow you and share this space. Thanks for the video! Much appreciated!

Thanks, Dan, for highlighting the Admiral. If he wants to run for President, I’m in. If he is a Republican who wants to run for President, I will change my registration and sign up for his campaign right now.

This man has the right stuff, to repeat a tired but exquisitely accurate phrase. No one else in the Republican Party seems to have that quality, anymore.
