"the JROTC program is instrumental in developing our young people who may be inspired to embark on a life dedicated to military or civilian public service."

"And it appears to me that right now all the branches are failing our ROTC programs."

"our highest priority across the board for all of our members, both sides of the aisle, has been the health and safety of our sons and daughters in uniform."

"the subject of today's hearing, which is the sexual abuse and harassment of JROTC cadets, who in most cases are children, who aspire to serve and defend our country, is especially disturbing."
