the way PTSD is acknowledged and treated today is totally different than the end of Vietnam, when I got out of the military.

I wonder if the resources aren't there now, and instead of creating another bureaucracy, just organize the resources that we have.

In order to bring attention to PTSD in the military, given today's hearing topic, I wanted to make sure that we invited this veteran and recognize his tremendous efforts on the military suicide and PTSD.

We now are requiring our colleges to look at graduation rates, not at the number of students that are in there, to get their funding.

veterans who carried the war, that we have as a country placed in harm's way to do what we have asked them to do to protect our freedoms, that now we provide the benefits we promised them, period.

One of the things we worked on while I was home was some veterans homeless issues.

Students really don't care where the money comes from; they just want the money to go to school.

it is becoming, as Mr. Hinojosa and Mrs. Biggert have pointed out, much more difficult for young people to afford to go to college now.

I think that is something we could look at.
