Thank you, Chair.
Thank you all for being here today.
Mr. Thorne, first of all, in listening to the eight areas of transition that Ms. Spinks has mentioned, and then in looking at the phases of your program, a significant number of them have application to what you do in your phases 1, 2, and 3.
When are you actually connecting with veterans? Would it not be that one of the best things we could do for them is engage them with the type of program that you have long before they get to a more critical point?
