Joseph J. Heck: “I have enjoyed the discussion this morning and appreciated you acknowledging the difference between access to health…”

I have always been a big believer in an All-Volunteer Force.

I find it unacceptable that we would place the additional burden of years of concern about the legitimacy of a bonus payment, or student loan repayment, on those who volunteer to serve.

Any job that exists in the private sector is available in uniform, and we need to do a better job at making that known to the American public.

I can tell you for the five years I have been on this committee, that is the most moving testimony I have heard.
