Script Of "David" (TV)

DAVID EICHHORN: I am really concerned about the vets coming back from this war that I know you question and I question, and I wonder if the V.A. is going to step up a little better with them.

(Text on screen: Hickory, N.C.)

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON: Well, David, we've got to step up. We have so many young men and women who are coming back, and they have injuries that are visible and invisible, to the mind and the body and the heart.

And it's really important that we take care of them, because they sure have taken care of us, and that's why we have to fully fund the V.A., and it's why we have to have special services for a lot of the problems that our vets are coming back with.

So, I have been a leader in the Senate on trying to do more for traumatic brain injury.

It is one of the highest obligations of our president and commander in chief to take care of our veterans.

We owe everything to those who have served us.

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON [v/o]: I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approved this message.
