Iraq war veteran couple Colleen Ryan and Jeff Hensley of the U.S. Navy comfort each other as they help set up U.S. flags on the National Mall on March 27, 2014, to represent veterans and service members who died by suicide.
"It’s devastating," said Jim Lorraine, AWP’s president, who served in the Air Force for 22 years."I’m not only a veteran myself. My son serves, my son-in-law serves. My wife is a vet. I know a lot of veterans who have died from suicide." “We’re not pointing fingers at anyone," Lorraine said."We’re just saying it’s sobering to look at the numbers.”
In a statement, VA press secretary Terrence Hayes said ending veteran suicide was the agency's top clinical priority, and that the methodology behind the VA’s National Suicide Prevention report was “well-established and consistent. Suicide is a national public health issue, with more than 45,000 Americans dying by suicide each year.

Yeah because there's no help, that meets their needs depending on individuals mental level on top of society on top of military service. We struggle as it is can't imagine vets that need help, you find kids students adults domestic violence that need help and you
There is a simple solution to this tragedy - disband your military. Not only will your society then have TRILLIONS of extra $ annually to use on intervention but you won’t generate more of the same damage. The problem will peter out in one generation.
How many kill themselves because of severe chronicpain & can’t get relief bc we treat them like addicts & treat addicts like children. How many pain sufferers take their own lives bc our govt don’t hold addicts responsible by giving needed help or prison?
PTSD Is Real
New rules needed. If they want out they should be allowed Out.
There are few persons in leadership roles who are working to stop this. Look at the admin and Congress, enriching themselves and acting like complete AH most of the time, doing proxy wars against other countries, and chipping away at justice and women's rights. This is disgrace
Biden administration telling them to go on welfare to support their families definitely not helping. You make more money flipping burgers than serving your country. Sad
All the while the Military Industrial Complex is busy taking in Trillions in taxpayers money annually and allow us to be bombarded shamelessly by commercials begging for $ 11/month to help vets!
Remember saying migrants are trash?
Every person who has served in the military, especially the brave soldiers who fought with valor overseas should have FREE, Housing, medical, School and an allowance of $2500 a year for life same as any retired person and more.
More Military Can Easily Bring
All by design to bleed CERN to unlock the pit to release the Locusts
Refugees are not “trash” …. it’s disgusting to refer to them as such.
And Who's at Fault ?
When your country wants to turn to communism, I can see why
The US should treat them better than seasoned politicians. Period!
No wonder less people are joining the army. Everyone knows once you are out the government does not care.
You sure it wasn't covid gun shots?
regret, guilt, death of innocents, torture 🤔
“Oops our bad”
Thanks to Biden
The only thing good about this is that they're not taking other people with them on this journey to the next life!
Your new study is garbage because you don’t have any real journalist
Easier to say thank you for your service than to do something to help them
Rest in peace my brothers and sisters
Treason against our veterans! My father died at the VA during COVID, his ashes are still awaiting burial 3 years later...
But let's send billions to the Nazis in Ukraine.
