4 years after the start of the war in Iraq, and less than 100 days since the swearing in of this new Congress, this Congress will act today. I urge my colleagues to support this rule and this legislation so we can pass the Wounded Warrior Assistance Act of 2007.

Let's give the families the respect they deserve and make sure that we are providing superior health care whether it's a physical injury or a mental scar.
