In the name of a young boy who was killed by a former marine who indicated that he had post-traumatic stress disorder, this increase of $1 million is important. Finally, let me say, triple negative breast cancer kills more women. It is important that there be an emphasis of up to $10 million for added research to ensure that this deadly aspect of breast cancer does not continue to kill women not only in the United States military, but elsewhere. As a survivor, let me be very clear that this research has not yet been completed. Lives have not yet been saved. I hope these amendments will be passed because it provides $10 million for triple negative breast cancer and $1 million for post- traumatic stress disorder. I ask support for the Jackson Lee amendments.
