A lot of the focus today has been on the Persian Gulf veterans, but I know there are Afghan veterans making these calls, and we just haven't had a chance to hear from them in this study yet. It's too bad we didn't have you at the end of the study so that we could ask questions based on the Afghan veterans' concerns as well. I think we have several of them coming to see us on Thursday.
What more could you be doing to recognize their service? They fought in a war too, whether some people want to admit it or not.
Could you give us an indication of that? We won't go into the monument issue, because we've been there before. I certainly disagree with much of the position that's happened with the current government and what's been going on now, but we won't get into that.
Aside from the monument, which darn well needs to get built, what else could could the government do to recognize our Afghan veterans better?
