Colonel, I appreciate that. Thank you.
Mr. Cuppens, it's good to talk to a fellow Dutchman. Thank you very much. Thank you for your services as well, sir, in and out of uniform.
In the statement you gave to us, I can read between the lines the frustration your organization has. We deal with families all the time who have been denied access to a proper burial for their heroes. I see in your pamphlet what frustrates them: the means test—disabled veterans “may” be eligible for benefits—or the other one, that veterans of World War II who are able to qualify financially “may” be eligible.
At the very end, you're absolutely correct when you say that a veteran is a veteran, and all veterans deserve the commemoration of a funeral. I couldn't agree with you more. This is the frustration I personally have. I have always indicated—and you've indicated here—that for those who serve our country, Remembrance Day is every day. Every one of these heroes should be treated with dignity, all the way to, and including, the headstone. I'd like you to comment on that as well.
You also mention the 28% administration fee. Your budget is around $9 million, I believe, give or take a few dollars.
