So you all should be very proud of this community

But graduates, graduates

you can't stop serving once you leave here

Whether you've worn our country's uniform or not

we're all called to serve and to give back to those of around us

And you don't have to travel across the globe or even across the country

to find ways to serve

All you have to do is take a look around your own community

Are there kids in your neighborhood who could use a mentor?

Can you volunteer with an organization that serves military families?

Can you pick up a few extra cans of vegetables

and donate them to a food bank?

I mean, these things may seem so small, but they really make a difference

Because when you've worked hard and done well, as I said

the least you can do is reach back

and give a hand to somebody else who could use that help

We can all find a way

to open our arms and welcome folks around us into our lives and our communities
