"I encourage you to draw from a principle that I learned as a young military officer."

"It cannot be that in the United States of America, veterans returning home do not have access to adequate mental health care."

"This was an unacceptable proposal and I ask the Committee to ensure that no veterans will see a reduction in health care access."

"Our veterans deserve to know that the care they receive at Castle Point will be there tomorrow, next month, and next year."
