Hopefully you guys can refer to the data that was supplied by Veterans Affairs that shows the comparison. It's not a one-for-one comparison between wartime service and the special duty areas that we talk about, but we can see the immense cost of serving in so-called peacetime and so-called peacekeeping missions.
Although the deceased in-area may not be the same because of changes in warfare and combat medicine that are occurring and the ability to evacuate casualties as quickly as possible and save them, the lifelong casualties—the ones that develop afterwards that aren't officially recognized on cenotaphs, monuments, and books of remembrance—are comparable in every way with wartime service. Psychological injury and physical injury are things we need to start commemorating and respecting, because those people are with us now and they need to know that they're being recognized for what they live every day.
Thank you.
