Thank you Chairman Collins, Ranking Member Casey, and members of the committee for calling today's hearing.
It is a very unfair situation. We need the legislation we are focused on today so that as soon as possible we can begin to meet the very unique needs of the pre-9/11 servicemembers and their caregivers.
We are finding out that there are more connections between certain diseases and military service, such as ALS, than we ever realized.
There is an also an economic argument for supporting military caregivers. They provide nearly $14 billion dollars a year as an unpaid, voluntary workforce.
