Your only desire is to try and live as independently as you possibly can.

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.

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 commend your service and I thank you for helping to educate us today.

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.

I am the biggest supporter of what we do for our veterans, but I would be remiss to say how incredibly disappointed I am.

I am very much encouraged by the President's commitment in his budget outline to making gains on all these fronts.

Thank you for the opportunity to come and express our support of the budget and some suggestions that we think will improve on.

I hope that we can work with him to accomplish these goals.

The time has come for us to harness innovation and ingenuity of the American people to develop long-term solutions to our energy crisis.
