We have hired--we have over 100,000 veterans as part of our workforce, fully 30 percent, and our goal is 40 percent.
When Secretary Shinseki came in, one of the first things he directed as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is directing us to build a full inpatient medical facility.
As President Obama said veterans have done their duty and they ask nothing more than this country, does ours, that we uphold our sacred trust to all who have served, and we will.
I ask the Committee, and the rest of Congress, to help us by resolving this fiscal impasse now.
