"This crime happened after months of abuse and after multiple reports to military authorities that were never shared with the civilian child protective services."

"Your bravery is inspiring."

"I believe it is time to make the safety of military families a priority, especially now when we expect so much from them and they are so vulnerable."

"I am really grateful to you for holding this hearing, and I want to join you in welcoming our witnesses."
