Student veterans across this country have asked for these improvements and I'm happy to report that we hear you are veterans and we are making the changes to make your lives better. There also continues to be a pilot shortage and this bill would allow veterans to help fill these critical gaps by allowing veterans to use their VR and E benefits to attend flight school. As a disabled veteran, I'm proud to lead this legislation on behalf of our veterans community. I urge all members to support HR980 as amended. (01:42–01:51)
