"I would like to welcome everyone to a meeting of the Military Personnel Subcommittee on the very important issue of military suicide prevention programs."

"I particularly want to thank you."

"Suicide by members of our Armed Forces is particularly distressing to me because I consider military service an opportunity for a person to achieve their highest ability of fulfilling life."

"Every one of them is a tragedy; every one of them has a deeply personal story."
