Political Quotes

Thank you, Ranking Member Michaud.

I served on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and I am often reminded of President Lincoln's promise, 'To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.'

Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman. Before I ask the question from Ms. Pape, I want to thank you and the many employees at the VA for your efforts to care for our veterans and to serve our veterans as well all across the country.

I really appreciate that, your openness, your willingness to listen to me as a minority member and as a ranking member and move forward in that regard.
