Cole Remarks at Oversight Hearing Assessing the Veterans Health Administration Fiscal Year 2025 Potential Shortfall (For the Record)
November 20, 2024
Remarks

Dr. Elnahal and Mr. Jacobs, welcome, and thank you for taking the time to appear here today to discuss this pressing issue affecting our veterans.

America’s long line of service is reflected through the millions of people who have served her in uniform across the nation, and I’m proud that nearly 236,000 veterans call Oklahoma home. We owe our freedoms to these heroes, and it is our duty to honor the commitments we’ve made to them. Our veterans should never be underserved – and they should never be misled to believe that their care and benefits are at risk.
