i want to praise congressman meehan for his leadership on this issue and speak a little bit about it in support of the salute act. it's going to help veterans overcome addiction and ptsd by providing yearly funding for veterans' treatment courts. this is an opportunity for all of us to help troubled veterans break free of the cycle and get the help that they need. it is estimated that one in five veterans returning from afghanistan and iraq will experience a stress-related mental illness. veterans' treatment courts assist soldiers who are charged with nonviolent crimes, who are struggling with certain addictions or mental illnesses. veterans' treatment courts provide an opportunity for them to get their lives back on the right track and not spiral down a track of addiction. . pennsylvania as you may know is the hub of veterans courts. 1 counties have them. in fact, three counties that i represent -- 18 counties have them. in fact three counties that i represent, and i have seen firsthand as a commissioner how impactful and effective they can be. i witnessed first hand how important i
