Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
One of the concerns here, if you take, for example, the VIP package, is that a lot of veterans, of course, aren't part of any program because they are so independent, and they say, “No, I don't need government to help me.” Then Buddy goes out and shovels the driveway, has a heart attack, and dies. His spouse is left behind. Now what does she do?
One of the concerns of an ombudsman is serving veterans. I'm just asking your opinion here, but shouldn't family members or spouses of deceased veterans or very disabled veterans, who may not be able to speak for themselves, be able to have access to the ombudsman to register concerns or issues they may have?
