16/365 Save a veteran's life

Posted Nov 02 2009 10:01pm
Veteran deaths due to suicide have surpassed combat deaths in OIF.

An estimated 18 of the 25 million US veterans commits suicide every day.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/21/cbsnews_investigates/main4032921.shtml

This is over 5000 suicides each year.

Ask the hard questions.

Look out for your wingman. Look out for your family.

Call if you or someone you love needs help.

National Suicide Prevention hotline: (800)-273-TALK (8255).

Connect with people who understand what you are going through at Not Alone:

See videos based on troops lost to suicide, learn the signs at Wingman Project

They've been heroes for us, be a hero for them.
Thanks for your interest in my blog feed! Read more at http://www.coppolathebook.blogspot.com. The book "Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq" will be published by NTI Upstream, Chicago, IL in November, 2009
