I have been over to Walter Reed visiting with soldiers who have been wounded in the Iraqi war, and it is true that they are receiving great medical care, but they do need employment. And I hope all Members heed what I think is a reasonable challenge, that each of us should reach out to returning veterans. Many have disabilities that are visible, and others have other challenges. We do know, as has been stated by a former President, Ronald Reagan, that one of the best things that could ever happen in terms of addressing some of the social challenges that people face is a good job.
