But you are seeing only the younger ones with PTSD and TBI, the success rates, the bottom line that Mr. Norman referred to is not quite as good as the older, say, more mature veterans of your age and even as high as mine.

I think one of the most critical values that will come of financial reform, if it gets passed, which I strongly encourage, is that without question, no one is carving out the products that you address.
