Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL-25), Ranking Member of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, delivered the following remarks at the Subcommittee's hearing on Quality of Life in the Military:
-As Prepared for Delivery-
Thank you for yielding, Judge Carter. Since we held this hearing last year, events have left me gravely concerned for the trajectory of quality of life priorities. We can’t discuss the well being of the men and women in uniform without touching on the ongoing war with Iran. I am incredibly saddened by the news that 13 service members have died and around 200 have been wounded since the start of the war. My condolences go out to the families, and the service members that lost friends and colleagues.
