"the present system is broken. The President thinks so. The VSOs think so. Our veterans think so."

"if you see us doing something that you have an objection to or perceive there might be a benefit challenge to, come to us first"

"time is not on our side, time is not on the veterans' side, when there is delay on appeals of these claims."
