"never in our history have so few borne so much of the burden of war for so long."

"There's a longstanding problem in our military survivor benefit system."

"It's that inequity that I want to address and that I have addressed each year that I have been here."

"Interestingly, the cost is dropping. As the survivors increasingly diminish in number, the cost of this, actuarially projected, is dropping."
