Please remember this. This is what we should be fighting for. 22 a day is tragic, but the failure of these vets to get much needed health puts their families in danger of mental anguish, but also for fear of injury, or worse, death (such as is the case here).
Organizations like Sponsor A Vet Life, Objective Zero, Victory For Veterans, Alabama Veterans, Homeless Veteran's Initiative of Alabama, the Homeless Veterans Initiative of America, and several others, all seek to decrease the number of veteran suicides in the United States.
Seek these organizations out and ask how you can help. The life you save could be a loved one, a brother or sister-in-arms, or even your own.
It's just my opinion, but I believe that we all have a duty to take care of each other.

SGT Michael Thorin This is the one thing that hurts me the most. The soldiers who need help aren't getting it. That is why I am a board member for http://www.victoryforveterans.org. We are fairly new and have many RP people on the board including COL Mikel J. Burroughs> We all want to stop the suicides. Keep checking to see how you can help this non profit get stronger.

This is very sad and seems somewhat preventable. I am hearing his story over and over again. 22 suicides a day a unacceptable as well as other family victims.
