What efforts will the Army National Guard undertake to quickly implement this new provision?

It is a great program, and I want to commend you for doing that.

So it could go either way?

And is that going to apply for security measures related to the Post-9/11 GI Bill?

These men and women are coming home and their ability to get a job in the current climate is very tough.

So you have had a lot of conversations and you are hearing that they are interested?

If you can get it to me, that would be great.

I really appreciate your holding this hearing on IT solutions for benefits delivery at the VA; and I want to thank our witnesses who are here today.

So we have made some progress, but there is lots of work left to do, so don't take our eye off the ball, right?

Veterans who have served on our behalf since September 11, 2001, have earned these benefits and they have a right to expect them on time.

I really commend you. I think you have made a lot of progress with that, and it is so important because many soldiers I have talked to do not even remember that they were close to a blast.
