Thank you.
You don't need to rebut it to me, but I know there are individuals who have problems with any organization.
Clearly, I must look as bad as I feel because everybody is trying to help me today.
You mentioned some of those numbers that are shocking on the amount of veterans who have passed away and continue to pass away since this program has been announced. I'm going to call it the GAC because I can hardly say Gerontological Advisory Council any longer. They're shocking numbers, and we have to move quickly. That's what we're trying to do here in this committee. We will bring it up and embarrass the government. It's been so many months, and we know it takes time to do it, but we've got to get it done.
I want to go back to one comment you made because it takes it right back to the street level. The people who are listening to this might think, a coffee and a donut, what is that? A coffee and a donut is about involving somebody at the local level, telling somebody you care, and that's what's important to us.
I want to ask you a question. I know it's going to be covered more at length later on....
I guess I'll thank the chairman. Thank you, sir.
