Mike Michaud: “The time is right to leverage outside expertise. There is no monopoly on good ideas.”

So we have a situation in our country where 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.

If you look at the chart comparing women veterans to female non-veterans, you can see in that chart that actually the female veterans' number is lower than the female non-veterans.

We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.

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.
