Veterans Affairs committee  Okay, I have 30 seconds. How can I finish up here? I'll just jump to the finish and, hopefully, our director of operations might have a chance, in answering questions, to respond. We know better. When we know better, we can do better. The time to act is now. I challenge all of us to take all that we've learned here, to continue to ask questions, to seek answers, to do ongoing research and, mostly, to act.

Veterans Affairs committee  You're welcome. Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. First, I would like to express my appreciation to the chair and the committee for providing me the opportunity to address the very timely issue of women in the military. In addition, I would like to acknowledge my personal heroes, these courageous, capable, patriotic women who have devoted their careers to keeping our country safe, both here at home and abroad.
