 The Department of Navy takes very seriously this effort to put our wounded warriors to work. It's the right thing to do, and more than that, it's a sacred duty. We also know that the organizations represented here today will be better off with our veterans on your team. You already know this, but veterans are highly qualified, incredibly talented individuals with a lot of specialized skills and the ability to learn new skills very quickly and very well. They're flexible, they're experienced, and they have proven they're not afraid to work hard. Our wounded veterans can add to this already impressive list of attributes that all our veterans have because they have overcome the adversity. They've overcome the adversity that they faced when they were wounded or injured as a result of their service. These veterans are wounded, they are not damaged. Every injured sailor and marine that I've ever visited has focused on getting back either to the service or to doing something productive.
