I think the suicides that we have all witnessed on VA campuses, in my mind, is a cry for help.

As you know, a 2018 VA OIG report found that 49 percent of military sexual trauma-related claims were incorrectly denied.

There is no question that the time to act is now.

I can think of no better group of witnesses to kick off this committee than the young leaders sitting before us today.
