"As an Iraq War veteran myself, I hope and expect that our current generation of veterans will match or exceed those numbers."

"I want to thank you very much for your input, for your advice, and for your sharing of ideas here today."

"I trust every single person that sits around this table, both sides of the aisle, to be professional and do the right job and try and take care of veterans."

"But please--please work with us."
