David Roe: “I find this embarrassing to have treated our veterans this way.”

I will not sit here and tell you that I am going to give you a metric and that we will eliminate veteran suicide.

We have to start doing something differently.

Do not imply, Mr. Secretary, I care any less about the veterans who are committing suicide. I have declared suicide prevention to be the No. 1 priority of this committee.

We have to reach out and try to find those 14 who never get to the VA, never get the care.
