David Roe: “I do not know whether this will be the last time I have an opportunity to serve with the Ranking Member Mike Michaud.”

Suicide is a national tragedy. It is not just the VA; it is a national tragedy for us.

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

The VA is not meeting all the needs, otherwise the suicide rate would not be 20 a day and staying there.

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