CBNNews.com -- More fallout occurred today over conditions at Walter Reed Hospital.
President Bush says he's concerned the nation's wounded service men and women are not getting the treatment they deserve.
Today, he met with with newly-named Veterans Care Commissioners Bob Dole and Donna Shalala.
The president assured them his administration will take any reports of neglect seriously and will uphold its responsibility to treat the wounded.
"The president made it clear he was going to be personally involved in this commission. And he thought if we came up with good recommendations, it could change the system for the next 30 years," Dole said.
"This is going to be comprehensive. It's going to be vigorous. And neither one of us are afraid of talking to the brass, whether it's the president of the United States or a general," Shalala said.
The Commission will review health care at Defense Department and veterans hospitals across the country.
