It sounds to me like we have a situation here where we should be encouraging veterans to use their talents and skills, their very unique talents and skills, but there instead seems to be some disincentivization in terms of what happens with their benefits. You've identified a real problem, and I hope we can address that in our report.
Mr. Stroesser, you mentioned three things that you felt, from your experience and the experience of others you've worked with, could be better. You mentioned funding, which I think has already been addressed with some of the questions. I want to address the other two, which are mentorship and staffing.
You offer mentorship to other veterans looking to start a business. Is any of that referred to you by Veterans Affairs? Is there any connection of Veterans Affairs in that, or is this people who are finding you because they're not getting that support from Veterans Affairs?
