David Roe: “I can't imagine why the VA can't write a check. How hard is that to do?”

If you were, you wouldn't behave like this. And nobody would spend their own money like this.

Every time a life is lost to suicide, it is a tragedy.

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