Congratulations to Soldier on, one of our great partners in the mission to end veteran homelessness. Soldier on has also seen stepped up big to feed hungry veterans in recent days and weeks. 21,000 veterans receiving SNAP in Massachusetts alone, 9 or 10% of our veteran population. And I just want to thank Soldier on for all the work that you have done during the government shutdown to feed our veterans. Congratulations and thank you. (31:33–31:41)
