Mark Takano actually said...

"We are absolutely torn up that this happens to people serving veterans."

"Are you all going to pay for part of this parade, rather than put the money into veterans healthcare?"

"I hope we can continue to work together to help districts like mine, and Ms. Kuster's, and all of the rural states that we have represented on this Committee."

"it is the government's responsibility and our duty to take care of our veterans and to oversee that, to not just be privatized."
