More than 22 prior service members each day kill themselves, due to the stress of war and trying to return home. That's literally about one an hour that we the people can help prevent. The most current was Jake Pittman, a combat veteran. By assisting the VA with their suicide hotline, by adding more representatives to the organization, and by increasing spending to the VA for programs like helping veterans readjust to civilian life, I know we can bring this number down drastically.
