ms. sinema: thank you, mr. speaker. for many veterans, the return to civilian life can feel overwhelming. ensuring mental health resources is essential. we recently heard from andrew who lives in chandler, arizona. he joined the marine corps at 17 years old when he said he was full of motivation and excitement to serve. i wanted to do my part to serve america, andrew said. as an anti-tank assaultman, andrew fought beside incredible marines in iraq, and when he finally returned home, he said he returned with memories of death. andrew leaned on loved ones and his faith to pull him out of the darkness. ever since he continued his healing journey by serving his fellow veterans and he presses forward with the values instilled in him in the marine corps, honor, courage, and commitment. the responsibility to care for our veterans belongs to all of us. that's why we're working with those who interact with veterans each and every day. letter carriers, librarians, grocery store clerks, academic advisors. we're giving community members the tools they need to support veterans every day right where they live and work. we're also working to increase the number of peer supports available to veterans.
