"The men and women who serve our country, as well as their families, make immense sacrifices every day. It is vital we continue to work together to improve their quality of life. Today, we had a productive discussion with Department of Defense officials on quality of life issues faced by our servicemembers. Spousal employment, child care, housing, compensation, and access to health care are all top priorities for this panel and I look forward to making headway on these issues for our servicemembers and their families."
