• It is time to acknowledge the extraordinary sacrifice of all of our veterans. While many Massachusetts soldiers served our nation in a period technically dubbed 'peacetime,' they restored American pride in the wake of Vietnam and helped bring a successful end to the Cold War. The service of these men and women was not without cost. There are countless stories of soldiers who served with great distinction only to be denied veteran status after returning home. Every man and woman who volunteered to serve this country should be treated with the same degree of respect, gratitude and dignity.

  Mitt Romney

The message is, "If you'd do what these companies did, you'd be successful too."

• I had a lot of ups and downs. I always said that if I were in a position to give back, I would and I have. As my name became bigger, I started giving.

When you become a successful individual, and have a thousand tasks going on, you forget that there are people in need. It keeps me grounded.
