“I thank Ranking Member Roe for his kind words, and it is a pleasure to be here today to present this package of legislation on veteran suicide prevention. I do appreciate his mentioning the veteran hotline, and I do want to also encourage veterans to know that it is okay to not be okay and to please call the number that Dr. Roe just announced. I will try to make sure I repeat that later on during our session today. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Lamb), my good friend and vice chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee.”
