"You don’t have to say anything to the haters. You don’t have to acknowledge them at all. You just wake up every morning and be the best you you can be. And that tends to shut them up" Michelle Obama

What $21 million could buy instead:
Food to feed for all 39,200 homeless Vets in America for the next 500 days.
