Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for appearing here today. It's not easy to hear such stories, but we want to also see how we can move forward with this and prevent something like this.
I understand what Sergeant Ryan was saying. Fifty years ago, she was here to advocate for women's rights, and right now we're talking about this in our military and for veterans.
Through the chair, I would like to ask all the witnesses who are here today the following question: How can we prevent such sexual misconduct or trauma from happening in the military, and how are we able to move forward, especially with any recommendations that you may suggest?
Maybe we can start with Sergeant Ryan.
