I thank Mr. Golden for his extraordinary military service to our country and for his leadership on this urgent issue. Madam Speaker, no veteran should be forced to choose between seeking care away from loved ones or forgoing treatment altogether. I applaud my friend for his tireless advocacy for local mental health services for veterans in the VA appropriations bill. I look forward to continuing to work together to prioritize greater accessibility to these vital mental health services to veterans. Madam Speaker, I wish the gentleman a happy birthday this Saturday.
