"It is really disheartening to hear the stories from our National Guard members who are coming home from deployment into a poor economy and joblessness, no health insurance, financial hardship."

"We have to keep people in the Guard and Reserves. And if they go home and can't find a job, they are going to abandon us."

"I am very concerned about the increasing rise in Guardsmen suicides."

"We are looking at trying to make that broader."
