A veteran commits suicide every 65 minutes. Yesterday I joined Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema in calling for increased attention to the issue, saying that soldiers and veterans are left to face the ghosts of war alone. Some estimates have shown that as many as 22 veterans take their own lives every day. We must combat military and veteran suicide with the same conviction that we take on an enemy of war – because it is killing our men and women in and out of uniform. We must wage a well-funded, well-planned campaign to fight this heartbreaking epidemic.
