We have lost over 6,300 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan and more than 46,000 have been wounded, since September 11, 2001.
I think it is one of the best examples because those of us that had that experience flew in because we had to provide cover for the C-123s that were spraying the Agent Orange largely around these high artillery bases in Vietnam.
I strongly believe that the professional staff and counselors at Vet Centers should be given the same tools to serve our veterans.
