"I am proud and excited that we are all here to discuss H.R. 3218, the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2017."
"H.R. 3218 has been aptly named after Mr. Harry W. Colmery, who is credited with actually writing by hand the first draft of the World War II era G.I. Bill."
"This bill is the result of the tireless work of many of the VSOs here tonight and the bipartisan efforts of this Committee."
"I cannot imagine a topic more worthy of our attention than ensuring that veterans have the education benefits they have earned and deserve."
