For most young Americans I know, 'serving' in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do.

Millennials are often portrayed as apathetic, disinterested, tuned out and selfish. None of those adjectives describe the Millennials I've been privileged to meet and work with.

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.
