I am a product of a military family, and I grew up in a military family. Until I became a member of this committee, I didn't realize to what extent...and now I have a chance to reflect on what went on. I am pleasantly surprised and happy to hear that someone is starting to express what a military family goes through, because a lot of time people don't realize that when a soldier signs up, the whole family signs up, even though they don't realize they're signing up. The country doesn't know that, and we need to make sure we educate people so they understand that.
We're talking about veterans here, and I believe the more we educate people, and the more we educate our veterans, the easier the transition is going to be. The whole purpose of what we're looking at right now is timeliness and that whole step from when they're in the service to when they become a veteran.
How do you see what you're doing is going to improve that timeliness?
