Thank you, Madam Chair.
Witnesses, the nature of military service is such that our service members start their careers relatively young. It's the beginning of a career. That usually means they retire from military service still relatively young in the context of a lifetime, which means they have a lot of good years left to contribute to this country.
Helping the veterans move on to a productive career post-military service has to be one of the most important things we can for them, not only because it's important for them to support their families—we all understand that—but also because it's important for veterans to feel that they are continuing to contribute to the country and their communities.
Can you tell us what we are doing, and what we could do better, to help veterans make that transition to a post-military career?
