Thank you.
I think that might identify a gap and something that perhaps we should explore as a committee and possibly make recommendations on. I think it is important that whatever path a veteran looks to in order to move on—whether gaining employment or starting a business, which is a great way to move on to the next chapter of your life—there should be things there and programs in place to help encourage and assist with that, in whatever way Veterans Affairs can. I'm glad you were able to highlight that.
Mr. Davis, I have some questions for you, specifically on some of the programs and things.
However, while you're here, I also want to take the opportunity to let you speak to an issue that I'm sure you would have liked to speak to, but you had five minutes. You wanted to talk about the subject matter at hand as a representative of the Persian Gulf veterans association. I know you guys have long fought for the recognition many other veterans have, which is to see your service recognized as wartime service.
I want to let you speak to that quickly, if you'd like to, and tell us what you're fighting for and why it's so important.
