Keeping Our Commitment to Our Vets
Every life lost to suicide is one too many, and the prevalence among our nation’s veterans is alarming. In fact, military suicide rates are four times higher than deaths that occurred during military operations in the last 20 years. When our veterans sign up for service, they commit to protecting the lives of all Americans. We must keep our commitment to them and ensure they have the resources needed to combat mental health challenges when they return home.
