I have a question that we've struggled with in committee. We don't have a definition, or one that I'm comfortable with myself, of what a veteran is. I'd like to ask anyone at the table if they have a definition in the United States of what a veteran is.
While you're thinking of an answer, I'll give an example. Right now in Canada we say that a veteran is someone who has served in the forces and has left the uniform. But at the same time, we have many people in uniform receiving pensions from Veterans Affairs.
So I'm wondering if you could elaborate on your definition of a veteran in the United States.
