That i love. I would like to start by saying thank you to chairman corker for your leadership in this endeavor and to senator cardin. Your leadership has been extraordinary, and i would like to say thank you to the rest of the committee that has supported this effort. This is a bipartisan effort, and in a country that is riddled with bipartisan separation on so many things, slavery seems to come up as one of these issues that we can all agree upon, and i applaud you for your agreement, and i believe in you and your leadership and your ability to take us out of it. I am here today to defend the right to pursue happiness. It is a simple notion. The right to pursue happiness is bestowed upon all of us by our constitution. Every citizen of this country has the right to pursue it, and i believe that it is incumbent upon us as citizens of this nation, as americans, to bestow that right upon others, upon each other, and upon the rest of the world, but the right to pursue happiness, for so man
Mr. Kutcher it is an honor to be here.

You very much. Thank you, senator. I was going to move to the next panel but my understanding, she found her way and we know how to filibuster and go on to more until she arrives.

Caregivers and advocates, especially my former colleague, senator Elizabeth Dole, who is an extraordinary advocate for our military caregivers. Our military families, heroes in plain clothing, are serving in americas cities and communities every single day. The effects of military Service Often do not end with a tour of duty.
