Did you know that a Marine Unit Stalked by Suicide, Veterans Try to Save One Another?
Members of a Marine battalion that served in a restive region in Afghanistan have been devastated by the deaths of comrades and frustrated by the V.A.
RP Members this is a very sad story and we need to find a way to stop this loss of life! One of the hardest hit military units in Afghanistan, the Second Battalion, Seventh Marine Regiment.
Take a Personal Moment of Silence for these Heroes!

Powerful stuff. This tells me that we can only trust each other. We can't trust our branch or the VA to give us the help we need. It's all up to us fellow vets!

Yes, it is sad whatever need to be done to reach out to fellow military personnel lets do it, the VA and any other organization isn't enough military and veterans feel more comfortable talking to others who are serving or have served.

MSG Floyd Williams I'm volunteering to help a company Virtual World Solutions d/b/a/ Sponsor a Vet Life that helps veterans that are headed in this direction. If there are veterans or service members that need help here on RP, please feel free to reach out to Kim Bolen RN CCM ACM and Vets Action Team (VAT) for assistance and help. She is a great contact and Civilian Supporter right here on RP and part of the Virtual World Solution Team. Ilene Morris has put together a great program and here is a post that I provided with guidance for those individuals and families that are having trouble with PTSD that could potentially lead to suicide or problems with their families. This is a great free program active military members (Confidential), veterans and their families to participate in:

Exactly, SSgt Alex Robinson. All one has to do is: Google "Warning Signs of Suicide".
