I am sorry for going on a little long. Let me just say, we owe this to the likes of Bill Mulder. I really believe, Ranking Member, Chairman Takano, and Chairman Levin, of all the things I worked on, on the Veterans' Affairs Committee--and it was a tremendous honor; I didn't serve our country in the military, so this was my way of serving those who served--I don't believe anything is going to have a greater impact. And it may just save lives. I believe it will. I really do. Madam Speaker, I am proud to be a small part of it. God bless our veterans. God bless those guardian angels that keep guard over us every day. God bless the United States of America.
