Many of the details come frankly in the veteran community theres a lot of us who dont understand the breadth and depth of what the v. A. Does. Im excited to talk about the v. A. In general, about your book and about your time in the administration. I would love to begin by hearing about what brought you to the v. A. , youre very successful in the civilian career and a lot of times making the transition from the civilian world into the government world can be a bit jarring. What drove you to want to take up the mantle of working within the government especially within the v. A. . Guest during my 20s i didnt have a chance to serve the way that you did. I spent my time and medical institutions and doing my medical training and it was sort of busy 20s. Its one of the real regrets ipad with this amazing country that we have that it wasnt able to give back. Later on in my career i was the ceo of the hospital, and i had the opportunity to get a call from the white house. This was right at the
Thank you. I want to recognize that a lot of folks came out for kipp. I want to recognize that the board when the board originally passed the kipp petitions back in what was the first year . 2003. I was on the board and i did approve the charters. I probably wouldnt approve it now as a new school.

I am not prepared to vote against kipp. I am not for disrupting schools in our communities. I vote for it reluctantly. I do want to ask a couple questions. If somebody from the community can come up and answer about the special education resources, offering autistic

Listen to as podcasts. Doctor shell can, honor to have you here. There was allegations that veterans were dying waiting for care. I remember sitting there as a citizen singing, i feel terrible about this. If anybody deserves the best care possible, its our veterans. Wish there was something i could do to help. It sometimes happens in strange ways. I got a call from the white house singing, would you consider coming to help lead the va Healthcare System because we are looking for somebody that understands how healthcare works from the private sector. I did what everybody tends to do when you have these choices to make. I made a list of the pros and cons. And the con side was much larger than the pro side. But on the pro side, it was simply, how could i say no . This was my duty as an american citizen to give back to people have given us so much. So i didnt think much about it but i said yes, im preparedto help. Thats great. Those of you who read the book, that was during the Obama Admin
