"We thank you for the opportunity to testify on this deeply troubling issue of the growing number of suicides amongst the veteran community."
"I commend President Trump for issuing two executive orders in the last 2 years to rally Federal, State, and local government agencies, as well as nongovernmental organizations, around this issue."
"We do not have the mental health infrastructure not just for VA, but for our citizens in this country anymore, and it is something we are going to have to learn to deal with as a Nation."
"While suicide is a tragedy no matter where it happens, it is particularly painful when it occurs on the grounds of a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility with help mere feet away."
