Thank you.
Thank you to all of our witnesses. Thank you to those of you who served our country for your service to our country.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Senior.
I thought you put it really well when you wrapped up your opening statement talking about how veterans were willing to put everything on the line when they served and now they're being told to just hang out, wait a bit and maybe eventually we'll get to dealing with your claims. I think that really strikes at the very bottom line of the problem here. Veterans were willing to serve this country, and their country should be there for them. Right now, we're not seeing that.
I wonder if you could start by talking briefly, for maybe 60 seconds or so, to your service. Tell us a bit about your service and why it makes you well qualified to be here as a witness on our transition study.
