Thank you, General, for being here today.
I want to thank you for your service to your country and for taking on this new role that you've stepped into. It's much appreciated. I know you'll do as excellent a job as you did with our forces for so many years.
I'm going to focus on the service aspect of things, having been a primary health care practitioner in my other life, and having worked for many years with veterans. You mentioned that 50% of services tend to be for people you see two years post their retirement.
Are there any studies that indicate the different levels of service of veterans that might make them more inclined to require post retirement? Is there anything you can enlighten us on at all?
