As a veteran, I don't feel like I needed to be rebooted, because I am concerned that word by itself may detract somewhat from the decision that our young men and women are making to serve their country.

VETS is committed to reducing veterans' unemployment nationally by helping each veteran through individual services.

We are also partnering with the VA in their MyVA Community Initiative to encourage community-driven solutions for veterans.

I greatly appreciate that we are all partners in promoting opportunities for veterans and in protecting their rights.

I do not want the Swiss to eat the cheese.

We would like to get this taken care of in this session of Congress.

My bill is S. 3027, and it involves Acadia National Park in Maine.

We do not want that to the exception to eat up the rule.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in today's hearing.

We are addressing the skill gap between veterans and employers who are seeking employees with industry-recognized credentials.

The funding is an issue. It is a timing issue. JVSG is the biggest funding program, and money goes directly back to the States.

One area where actually Congress can help, and it is one area that my staff had highlighted is Title 38.

We continue to work to end homelessness among our veterans by providing services that help them establish a stable, long-term employment.

I believe the bravest person in the United States was that 16-year-old boy who walked down into that hole about 100 years ago and discovered it.

I know Congressman Lamborn was going to look into it.

If you look at the chart comparing women veterans to female non-veterans, you can see in that chart that actually the female veterans' number is lower than the female non-veterans.

A huge amount of excess capacity.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
