As a veteran, I don't feel like I needed to be rebooted, because I am concerned that word by itself may detract somewhat from the decision that our young men and women are making to serve their country.
We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.
So we have a situation in our country where 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.
I greatly appreciate that we are all partners in promoting opportunities for veterans and in protecting their rights.
