In light of our politicians doing everything we they can to make our minorities feel welcome from these terrorizing statues, do you think they could spare just a few seconds to maybe at least chat about veteran suicide? I don’t want to seem selfish in asking or anything. If this isn’t a good time, I guess they can table it for another more convenient time. I suppose there is other more important issues like painting BLM in the streets and such. And oh, looking into the Russian bounty thing with the Taliban. And then there is the UFOs. Come to think of it, maybe I shouldn’t even have asked.

Yes, we do have a problem, but don't expect some feckless politician to give it much attention. When an individual finds himself in a dark place, it's best to ask wwjd?

@jameslavish

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.

This is inflation

I was talking to my son not to long ago about vet suicide, that's the first time he mentioned that he just very recently started to sleep through the night again after he found and cut down one of his own guys. That's a life that matters . Both of them.

We have a Veteran’s court here, where we volunteer to help vets in trouble with the law, and reach out to others who need our help.

It’s a crisis.

We have a large retired military community, senior NCOs and officers, and we try to get everyone we can to lend a hand, and we still lose people.

It’s demoralizing.

I don’t know how to turn the tide, but it keeps me up at night. I lost a few troops to suicide when I was a young sergeant, and it haunts me to this day.

We have to turn this around.
