Charles Q. Brown: “Thank you very much. Because I think it is very important that we have veterans working in the Veterans Administration…”

Part of this fairness, I believe, is that bad employees must be held accountable for their actions and for not doing all they should be doing for our veterans.

All levels of Government sectors have responsibilities to respond to the threat of climate change and support at-risk communities.

I think that is the thing that I would like to focus on there. There is a real need to examine what meaningful employment and training means, and what the barriers are to obtaining employment for this population.

Let me add that women, one of the fastest growing groups of the military, are committing suicide, and I hope VA is targeting our female veterans, making sure that they get the help that they need.
