And it was very, very difficult for their families. And a number of us recognized that what we needed to do is build facilities, upgrade facilities, get rid of those old facilities and replace them with Readiness Centers to train and equip our troops in the event that we had to send them overseas on a mission, which we id many, many times.

So this is an opportunity we have to leverage this partnership and to address that particular problem. Thank you very much indeed.
