Let me go to two of the problems that we've identified over and over.

I would hope Mr. Hartnett when he comes and testifies would talk about some of that.

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

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

Thank you, all five of you, very much for your service to veterans and your services to Americans.

Chillicothe does some things better and that it has a terrific program.

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

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

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

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

OK. You have posters up in all kinds of public places saying to call this 1-800 number or whatever?

I would hope that we can help you with that.

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

That's something we need to address. Thank you for that.

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

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

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

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

I think most of us would agree with that.

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

So convince the rest of them.

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.

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

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

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.
