Chairmen, Ranking Members, and members of the subcommittees on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs and Health, on behalf of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America’s one hundred and eighty thousand members and supporters, I would like to thank you for inviting us to testify today. “Healing the Wounds: Evaluating Military Sexual Trauma” is a critically important topic. The issue of sexual assault has deeply affected IAVA membership, the military and veterans’ community as a whole, and me personally.
