Sherrod Brown

I would like to hear from the VA about the math because that was never the intent of that bill.

Veterans in Appalachia face unique challenges, from social and economic isolation to distant health care facilities.

Why can't we, with technology, why can't we correspond with virtually every veteran?

Cleveland State and Youngstown State both have specific programs for integrating veterans into the university setting.

They go home to Brilliant or wherever and never connect with you?

But are we providing the quality of service and the breadth of service that we should be?

I expect the US Government to take care of all veterans no matter what generation they are in.

It's vital that these challenges are understood by the Committee and the Senate, so as laws and regulations are written.

I think most of us would agree with that.

That was a terrific answer. Thank you. And thanks for your honesty about that.

Thank you, Ms. Phillips-Schwartz, very much.

I encourage the committee to consider continuing its investment in early college high schools as you review and make decisions on the reauthorization of legislation.

Everything that you say will be recorded in the committee testimony that other members of the Senate will have access to.

Welcome. The Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, will come to order.

One of my missions in the U.S. Senate in the next 10 years is to make Ohio a leader in clean energy production.

So convince the rest of them.

I think you have done very well, Mr. Caldwell.

So why were you able to have such an increase?

My wife, who is the first in her family to go to college, grew up in Ashtabula in the northeast corner of the State and went to Kent State.

Thank you for inviting Project GRAD Akron to represent our organization as I share about the important work that we do throughout the United States.

I want to especially thank our hosts, Metro Early College High School.

I mean, I think there are very few careers in which you can really say you put in a hard day's work and really have impacted the future positively.

Thank you, Senator Brown, for inviting us here today for this very important topic.

It is fitting we hold a hearing on career and college readiness on this campus.

We have to be able to communicate with the civilian sector and be able to control those costs.
