To have a veteran come from a small village in Alaska to have to deal with their case in this body here in Washington, DC, spending, my guess would be, based on my own experience, if you travel from a small village to Washington, DC, that experience, being here 3-4 days, could be $6,000 or $7,000: hotel, travel, time away. It is very expensive.
