"I want to preface my statement by recognizing the tremendous work the Department of Defense and the service leadership has done to respond to the disturbing trend of suicide in our Armed Forces."

"Suicide is a difficult topic to discuss. Every suicide is a tragedy, but suicide by members of our military is even more difficult because they have given so much to this Nation."

"Why are we here today? How did we get here?"
