Thank you.
I appreciate all of your testimony today.
I'm going to start with you, Ms. Miller.
I really have a lot of respect for so many veterans across this country like you who have decided to continue your service to your fellow veterans through offering programs and peer support. I commend you for what you're doing.
I wanted to ask you a little more about it. It's often something we hear as a barrier for a lot of veterans when they get out of the service. There's a loss of a sense of purpose in many cases, and there's a lot of need for peer support, for veterans helping veterans. That applies across a whole host of things, whether it be employment situations, family, mental health crises or all those things. The ability for veterans to help each other is so important, and not only to the veteran being helped; the veteran who is doing the helping is also receiving something from it as well.
I want to give you an opportunity to talk a bit about that aspect of peer support—why it's so important and why it's something you believe there needs to be more of.
