I came out of that knowing I wanted to be in a position to make those decisions about our country's foreign policy, about war and peace and the well-being of our brothers and sisters in uniform, both while they're in uniform and after they lay it down.

I went to the Democratic Convention.

Nancy Pelosi invited me to speak during primetime about veterans.
