Derek Kilmer: “Thank you, Madam Chair, and Mr. Ranking Member. I appreciate you having this Member Day hearing.”

These retreats will allow us to identify areas of mutual concern and agreement.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Congress has never awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to any group of Vietnam veterans. Today, we can change that by passing this legislation. I ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote…

I am grateful to my colleague and friend, Congressman Brad Wenstrup, for serving on our first panel today.

I am hoping to leave my campsite better than I found it.
