A Suicide a Day: 32 Soldiers Kill Themselves in June: Silent Sunday

The number 1 is a lonely number – 32 is a tragedy. 32 soldiers (7 in Iraq and Afghanistan) killed themselves in June. No words can express the sorrow.

We owe these men and women more than just a “how sad”. To learn more and watch the video, Shoulder to Shoulder: I will never quite on life ,visit this Army suicide prevention site.

I’ve also put the video here for you to watch. Please take a few minutes to follow up with your Congressperson about additional mental health support for our military.

 

I don’t know anyone in the service nor have I ever experienced a suicide in the family. However, I do know what depression can do to a person and feel strongly that the American public has a responsibility to these soldiers.
