To present the award for the 2014 uso coast guardsmen of the year, please welcome the 25th commandant of the coast guard, admiral paul s. Zuchoonst. All right, you have heard it from az. Aisha, im not sure which is more difficult your name or my. I have the not cool name. My last name means future and the future of the coast guard is very bright. [applause] in two months, the u. S. Coast guard, the Shallow Water service, will cover all seven continents on the globe. Today, we are in afghanistan, iran, africa, liberia, in south america, china, we are everywhere and i could not be more proud to serve the service but i cannot be more proud to have a seat that chairman dempsey has afforded me to be a guest on the chairman of the joint chiefs as we deal with many challenges that face us and the world ahead. Really what people ask why do you give to come to work every day . What causes you to get up to work every day is the people we are proud to serve. First of all, we are an all volunteer service and how appropriate we are here with the uso, an all volunteer service as well. Im just delighted to say that my wife fran is one of those 29,000 volunteers. [applause] she kept her maiden name because no one can pronounce zukunft so people would come through Reagan National air force airport at the uso office and asked what her husband does. All of a sudden, they laid down alms but fran is anything but that. She is very proud to be part of this Great Organization that we call the uso that serves our members and not just our members but our families as well. Theres a family i will call out tonight and that is the family of petty officer brett bates, joined tonight by his wife leanne and joined by his mother and father lisa and mark and his grandfather doyle. [applause] why are we calling out brett tonight . Many of you may have seen the movie the guardian. Brett bates is one of the guardians of the coast guard. He jumps out of perfectly good helicopters and he did so. It was back in april of 2013, launching over 100 miles south of galveston, texas and there is a fishing vessel foundering in 15 foot seas. Normally you lower your rescue down by a hoist and it was too rough to lower him down so he jumps out of a perfectly good aircraft. He swims up to a life raft. Then he not only comes up to the life raft but he says, its ok, im here to give you a lift. Thats exactly what he did but if we could do the same with ebola that he did with this mariner in distress, and then he hooked up, and then we lifted this mariner out and all thanks to brett bates for doing that. If that was not enough, he also is an emt. On a tennis court, somebody playing tennis suffers cardiac arrest and he happened to have an id kit and administered cpr and saves another life. He has done that again and again. And so he is truly a lifesaver. The biggest challenge for me as i call ourselves the silent service because we never talk about what we do. Brett bates is one of the many in our service that time and again, they save lives and thats what im trained to do. What you heard before his many heroes who have come before them and i will call another one out but thats what he is trained to do, to serve our nation as a volunteer. Sobrett bates, please come forward to be recognized, thank you for your service. [applause] i would like to think admiral zukunft for correcting me so beautifully. It was very classy. My people cannot help but to put flair on everything we do. If your name was smith, i would call you smithay. Ill never forget it again. I will remember it when i am crying alone in my hotel room. Its all good. The National Guard provides a vital role in the Nations Defense hold it together [laughter] both at home and overseas. In his civilian life to merit presented pursued a career with the u. S. Army corps of engineers to present our National Guardsmen of the year, please welcome the 27th chief, National Guard bureau general frank j graff. [applause] good evening, everyone and i think if i checked the schedule, i am the last military presenter. Ive got the simplest last name. I got to tell you when i went to basic training i went to ocs, that name did not give me any benefit whatsoever. [laughter] i was thinking as i was standing there listening to general dempsey throw me under a bus a few times and im the last military presenter, weve got a great chairman, no doubt. You should here this guy sing frank sinatra. For pat and i its a real pleasure to be here and so many places we have been, what a Great Organization that takes care of the men and women. You dont ask for anything. You walk in over and over, i have seen it, and i have to tell you that no matter where i have been on the map, theres always a friendly smile and sometimes you really need that especially if youre going to dover or going somewhere to meet family and you need that smile to build your endurance up and do what you have to do when you have to notify someone. Whenever you go in there and the family has been taken care of by the uso, it makes our jobs much easier. For everyone involved with the uso, thank you so much. Before i introduce our award winner tonight, i want to introduce Sergeant Andrew multredders family, his daughter cora, his parents are here, his brother al, sisterinlaw emily, sister amy, and brotherinlaw charlie. Thank you so much for supporting this great warrior. [applause] andrew, as any guardsmen who has done his training is an active duty training on the weekend. At the end of his training, he was heading home and back to lexington, his training was and shelby, kentucky. On the 12th of january, 2014, on his way home, he came upon an overturned suv on fire. With no regard for his personal safety, he went to the vehicle. He saw the driver who was unconscious and still strapped in. Assisted by two of his Kentucky ArmyNational Guard and army veteran that stopped to help, sergeant mehltretter took charge of the situation and went into action to extract the driver from the vehicle even while it was burning. He wanted to make sure there were no more injuries caused. So he began to organize the effort at the crash site. The driver who was a canadian citizen, as he came out of the vehicle, this combat medic, Sergeant Andrew mehltretter, uses combat skills and destabilize the patient and he stayed with that patient until the ambulance arrived. When the driver came back to consciousness, he looked up and andrew said you are ok emma we are here with you. Many folks especially the First Responders say that andrew. Save that gentlemans life anders commander said his dedication to duty and Selfless Service warrants recognition. His extraordinary here was him heroism establishes him as a professional, as a leader, as a mentor of soldiers.

Coming up, a discussion on Mental HealthResources Available for veterans. Then white house medal of honor ceremonies for veterans of world war ii, the korean war, and the war in vietnam. Later, president obama speaks at the anniversary of the dday invasion. Wednesday, virginia senator tim kaine and Jack Goldsmith discuss the constitutional role of congress in the executive branch in military intervention to combat isis. You can see the event from the Wilson Center live starting at 10 a. M. Eastern on cspan2. The house and Senate Return wednesday 2 p. M. Eastern. The houses scheduled to debate 10 bills including updating the president ial records act among which would allow current and former u. S. President s to totinue to restrict access Certain Records created during their presidencies. In the senate, procedural votes are expected on judicial nominations. Watch the house live here on cspan, and the senate on cspan2. The 2014 midterms are over or just about over in most races, and we look ahead to the lameduck session. Were joined by rebecca, who covers congress for the hill. Looking ahead to the lameduck session, the headline on your until december. Youre right that the timing would give lawmakers just a day or two to debate and vote. There is a deadline in december. What is that, and what will be included in the omnibus bill . Thats right, they basically have just a day or two. Pass an omnibus spending bill that would fund the government through the rest of the fiscal year, which would be to the end of next september. The problem is that the spending bill that lawmakers approved in september expires on december 11, which is that week. Just a few only have days to debate and vote on the bill. Otherwise what could happen is lawmakers might choose to extend the continuing resolution that is currently in place for maybe a short time until they pass the omnibus spending bill. That shortterm extension sounds like they have done that in the past. How much is in this bill . This is basically the levels they agreed to in the budget that was passed earlier this year, and what other surprises may we see in that omnibus spending bill . X that is correct. It would be the level set by the budget deal that paul ryan and patty murray reached last december. So it will be around the 1. 014 trillion mark every otherwise its hard to tell exactly whats going to be new in this omnibus spending bill. Obviously the white house has asked for two separate new funding requests that are pretty major. One is for the ebola fight and one is for the war on isis. Those are the two funding request that the administration sent to Congress Last week. Lawmakers will obviously have to debate these requests, and its possible they could wind up in the omnibus bill. That is what the administration is hoping for, but it is there could be republican who opposed those requests. But she tweeted about that request, the 5. 6 billion. Heres your tweet that says democrats call for isis war vote in the lameduck. Not only is their consideration of how much money, but whether the president has the ability to do this, correct . Right. President obama has that he does have the authority to carry out these military operations in iraq and syria. However, he has said in the last week that he will seek an authorization to carry out these operations in the middle east. The problem is that a lot of democrats do want this authorization to happen in the lameduck session, as if they do have control of the city. However, republicans wanted to be pushed into next year when they have the majority in the senate. I think that might be what winds up happening, the republicans might get their way here. They only have about 15 working , during thesession lameduck session, at the end of this year. I dont think they will be able to get much besides is bending bill and maybe a few other things. Something as large as an authorization would have to have more time for them to debate and vote on it every lets move over to the senate and the nomination of Loretto Lynch to replace eric holder as attorney general the president making the announcement last week and. Othersting the hill and organizations reporting about a possible delay in her nomination. The headline says democrats are unlikely to ram through the obama attorney general pick. Why would Democratic Leaders wait her nomination and until a majority takes control of the senate . I think they are not too concerned about her nomination. The white house put her forward as somewhat of a bipartisan choice. She has been confirmed twice before by the senate to be u. S. Attorney in new york. I dont think they will have to part of a time getting her through. Even john mccain said earlier today that he thinks that she will get through a Republican Senate next year. I dont think democrats are too concerned, and again, they dont have to me days to debate and vote on this sort of thing in the lameduck session. Senator mcconnell, the likely incoming majority leader of the senate, what are his potential efforts in terms of repealing obamacare . He has said repeatedly that he does want to repeal obama care. I wrote a story a few days ago about a number of conservative roots trying to push him to repeal obama care. He has kind of suggested that he a budget tool called reconciliation to push it through. It would only require 51 votes in the senate, which he would have. There are a number of legislative and procedural hurdles that he might face as far as getting that full repeal through. What would be much more likely, at maybe president obama would be willing to sign, is maybe a repeal of the medical device tax, maybe something on the employer mandate, something that might get some sort of bipartisan attraction. Both the house and Senate Republican democrats will hold their leadership elections this week. What should we keep an i out for . Republicans are holding their leadership elections on thursday as our democrats in the senate. What were really looking for is what is happening in the senate. Obviously the two sides are going to flip. Mcconnell is going to get the majority here. There are some races that are open that are not too controversial. As far as john boehner, i think hes going to get the speakership again. Or might be a few Tea Party Republicans that might choose to put their name in the hat, but i dont think they will have too hard of a time. It seems pretty clear that he will be speaker again. Exit looks like his hand was strengthened by the results of the election. Read more at the hill. Com and also on twitter. Thanks for the update. Here are just a few of the comments weve recently received from our viewers. Just calling to tell you how much i enjoy q and a. At 5 00 on sunday, everything stops in my house.

Now we turn our attention to challenges for veterans as they transition back into civilian life, and the Services Available to them and their families. Representatives with the American Red Cross and the Veterans Affairs department spoke about Resources Available to veterans dealing with unemployment, homelessness, Mental Health him and Suicide Prevention. The National Alliance on Mental Health hosted this event. Its about an hour and 15 minutes. I might jones, first vice who isf the council bringing you this presentation and all help you returning folks to for all the active duty at are having very long wars they have had to endure. We know that for some veterans, its a real task and real struggle to transition back into the civilian community. Many veterans do it, many activeduty do it with not even skipping a beat, but many struggle with these issues. We know they struggle because we in all the legal problems many of our veterans are having. We also know that there is a great deal of homelessness in our veteran population. I guess the unemployability issues him a Everybody Knows thet, and ultimately saddest of the statistics is all of the suicides where hearing about. Us anywheres tell from 20 to up to 30 that are in today commit suicide. We know at least one activeduty military member commits suicide. These are tragedies that we really have to muster up and fight. The good news, even with all the difficulty many of our veterans are facing, is that in each community odd there are great to connect up with. They are called veteran Service Organizations. There are a great many veteran Service Organizations, so we are not going to go through a whole list today. Exit, this afternoon, the Veterans Council has made a list of those you need to be familiar with. Not only a list of them, but Contact Information so your affiliate can hook up with the vsos to serve and help our veterans. We have a privileged today to hear from more veteran Service Organizations that have been out there. Historically, one of them has been with the military from the beginning, and many of the other ones, for example amvets, have come along many years ago as well. I am a Service Officer for the dav. You notice my hat up here, disabled american veterans. There are many Service Organizations out there that you can be familiar with and hook up with. Last night at one of our veterans organizations, are executive officer said that when affiliates across the land hook so, we become a Formidable Force to help veterans and their family members. So with no further ado, im not going to make any other announcements. Im going to let you know who here. Os are to my left ear is christina kauffman. We will go that way, christina is now, ive been around the military. I am retired marine corps, and i am looking forward to hearing about this, because i am not as codeiar about the foundation, and even us old timers are going to hear about this today. And next to her, let me see if i berylet beryl love, and amvetsmes to us from our , fellow veterans, community, and next to beryl oh, yeah, ok. Manwill, who comes to us from the American Red Cross, so we can hear a lot about many of these beautiful programs, and then next to her caitlin thompson, with the v. A. , and we know that is a difficult topic and something we really need to hear about, what to help withoing the untold numbers of suicides. Here is how we are going to do this. We are going to get each 12 minutes, and then after be here all of our presenters, we will open it up for questions and comments and dialogue, and please, hold your questions until we hear from all effort you are of our speakers, ok . Four of our speakers, ok . We will hear from the Red Cross Service organization, ok. The v. A. , right. Please. Ok, i want to make sure i see everybody. So, hi. Again, i am caitlin thompson. I and the Deputy Director of the Suicide Prevention program for v. A. , so i currently overseeing all of the Suicide Prevention efforts. I am hoping everybody got this, this folder . Its not ok. So it is in the back. Thank you so much. I am going to be referencing all so, yes. I work for v. A. , and i am really thrilled to talk with you all today. At v. A. , we really value our collaboration with nami. We have had a strong collaboration over the years, just in Mental Health services we went to make sure that we are all aware of what is available both nationally from the v. A. As well as locally and how can you can connect with the v. A. In terms , as well as how we can collaborate with you on what , and as has been said, we need to continue to Work Together on this issue. One of the biggest things that we have available is we have Suicide Prevention coordinators at every v. A. Throughout the country, and so wherever you are located, there is a v. A. Suicide prevention coordinator, who is , and we reallyrt encourage you to get in contact with them. And one of the biggest things that our Suicide Prevention coordinators do is provide local outreach. The v. A. Suicide prevention coordinators are required to provide five outreach events per month to their local community so that the information arerding Suicide Prevention then disseminated throughout the country. How do you find out who your Suicide Prevention coordinator is . This is one of the things that i want to talk about. So just in general, on the of your folder in the back is the Mental Health resources for veterans and their beilies, so i am going to going through this list, because i think these are some of the most important resources at we have available, those that you can tap into and those that we can collaborate together on. So when it talks about the Veterans Crisis line, which i will get you in as second, within that, there is a website that says Veterans Crisis line dot net. There is a resource locator, were you can find out who your local Suicide Prevention what nader is through v. A. , so if you are concerned ut a veteran or their and your local Suicide Prevention coordinator is through the v. A. , so if you are concerned about a v. A. , we went to work with all veterans. Intopecially want to tap those who do not seek care at the v. A. You can find through this resource locator, you can throw in your zip code and find out exactly who your Suicide Prevention coordinator is. When i talk about it, i do just want to mention, when i talk about the fact that we went to see as many veterans as we can in v. A. , specifically because of Suicide Prevention efforts, the reason is that we are finding that those veterans who seek care at v. A. Have lower rates of suicide than veterans do not to care at the yeah, so what is that saying . Our is saying that since Suicide Prevention program was established in 2007, it is saying that we are doing something right. We have the whole enhanced care Delivery System for those veterans who are deemed to be at high risk for suicide. Work on developing safety plans with any veteran who is at high risk for suicide, and we have very specific rules as far as how many times a and we should be called went to make sure there are no veterans you are falling through the cracks. And will be when it goes and theyural areas have very high suicide rates. They may become very isolated. Thing that we know about is that veterans use firearms more than nonveterans if know that firearms you are taking pills, there is a much longer. Keeper of time where you take and you can get them to take the pills out of the system. If you use a gun, there is a 90 chance you will die, and we know that our veterans are comfortable with guns, in what i have started to talk more about, and i think we can talk about together, is ensuring that gun safety is prominent. And we are looking to keep them safe. There is a collection of videos and these are, all on youtube, on the admin page and also on the crisis website. We have also developed a very video, andn safety he talks about the safety of family members in the home and safety of others if guns are not kept safe. The Veterans Crisis line has anyone not heard of the Veterans Crisis line . Ok, so it is a pretty well known resource. And they are all Mental Health professionals. Them are family members
