HUD-VASH is probably the most versatile housing tool we have today, and it allows us to take care of not just veterans, but veterans with families and children.

The President fully supports veterans and their families, and by providing them the care and benefits they have earned, we pay tribute to the sacrifices that veterans have made for this Nation.

Transparency is an important aspect of our being able to establish and retain trust in this department.

We have all learned a considerable amount in dealing with the issue of military sexual trauma: serious, sensitive, greatly under-reported.

No veteran should have to wait for benefits and services we provide that they earned a long time ago.

I assure them that at VA our experience is when we diagnose and treat whatever the issue is, but even PTS or PTSD, that people improve and that they should not let that be a barrier to them making a hiring decision.

Your support of it is critical to providing veterans the care and benefits they have earned through their service and sacrifice.

To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.

The President's vision reflected in these requests is about empowering veterans to help lead the rebuilding of the middle class.

I believe VA has sufficient authority to take swift action and hold employees and executives accountable for performance.

I am appalled that the House considered a bill that only partially funded the Department of Veterans Affairs...

I ask the Committee, and the rest of Congress, to help us by resolving this fiscal impasse now.
