"We are here today to hear from you, to do the most important job we do in Congress and that is to care for our warriors."
"this is exactly what we are trying to alleviate, and it is absolutely diminishing the care of our warriors"
"Well, I appreciate that, but now I feel even worse for our three veterans sitting here, knowing that we didn't strap the rockets on this one then and get it going."
"So you can rest assured that this Committee is absolutely committed to putting this in the past"
"Your only desire is to try and live as independently as you possibly can."
"I commend your service and I thank you for helping to educate us today."
"So this is a funding issue? If we had given more money these guys would have received better care?"
"It is critical that Congress conducts strict oversight into how this program is developed and implemented to assure that our Nation's servicemembers and veterans are well served."
"I look forward to listening to the testimony being presented today, and am encouraged that there will be future discussions and oversight on this matter as well."
"I agree with the Chairman that it is important that this Committee takes a look at the progress being made in implementing this legislation."
"These three didn't come here for pity or for handouts or for anything. They simply wanted care that this Nation has the ability to deliver."
