Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Sir, thank you very much for coming to our committee today.
I want to ask you this. In France, what is the definition of a veteran? For example, if I signed up with the French army tomorrow and I did my training and in my third month I was hit by something and became permanently injured, would I be considered a veteran even though I hadn't served 90 days in theatre, as you had indicated before? Or if I served 25 years but never left the country of France--say I had more national service within the military but remained in France and never crossed the border--would I be considered a veteran then?
