Today we remember the senseless tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001, and we commemorate the lives of those who were lost. We also honor the heroes of that day -- the first responders who rushed into burning buildings and the airline passengers who perished in a Pennsylvania field in order to save the lives of strangers. We thank the brave men and women who sacrifice so much to keep us safe each day, and the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. May we never forget that terrible September day and always remember the tremendous patriotism that followed in the days after. May God Bless America.

On August 7, 2013, U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., chaired a Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee field hearing in Atlanta, Ga., to examine the April 2013 reports from the Department of Veterans Affairs Inspector General detailing mismanagement of inpatient and contracted outpatient mental health programs at the Atlanta VA Medical Center in the wake of three veteran suicides and to address the steps the VA has taken to improve the mental health care provided in all of their facilities.

The hearing was titled: "Ensuring Veterans Receive the Care They Deserve: Addressing VA Mental Health Program Management."

Isakson, who serves on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, heard testimony from the VA Central Office, the Office of the Inspector General, the Southeast Network, the Atlanta VAMC, the Georgia National Guard, a veteran with the Wounded Warrior Project, as well as private-sector and community mental health care providers.
