This is a very shocking and sad reminder that way too many U.S. veterans commit suicide.
“45,390 American adults died from suicide in 2017, including 6,139 U.S. Veterans” that every 7th suicide with in a year is committed by a veteran. This translates into about 17 such suicides on every day of the year.
“The number of Veteran suicides exceeded 6,000 each year from 2008 to 2017.” that is a total of at least 60,000 veterans who died by suicide over the past 10 years
