"I want to extend a special thank you to the survivors on the panel and the survivors in the audience."
"I do not want to leave you with the impression that I am satisfied."
"I can certainly sympathize with the frustration the Gold Star families' experience from the confusion and delays these mix-ups cause."
"the honor in our PACT Act provided eligibility for surviving spouses to access benefits as their veterans' toxic exposures are now being recognized."
"No. We have got to go vote. I appreciate the courtesy in letting me ask Dr. Holmes more questions."
"I hope to talk to Representative Crane more about this idea."
