Thank you.
I have a couple of things I want to touch on, but first I'll go to Ms. Hughes.
It's good to have you here again. It's good to see you. One thing we hear about quite frequently—this would apply to all veterans, but without question it would apply to women veterans equally, if not more so—is wait times. I often hear about the atrocious length of time that veterans will wait for claims to be adjudicated. You hear these horror stories of a year or two, and sometimes even much longer than that. Those aren't exceptions. Those are quite common.
I wonder if this is something you hear in your role with the Legion and if this is something you see and are dealing with as well. Do you have any suggestions on what can be done to better serve our veterans?
