During the 2012 calendar year, the Department of Defenses Annual Suicide Event Repor report stated 319 active-duty servicemembers, 73 reservists and 130 members of the National Guard committed suicide; and 841 servicemembers tried to commit suicide one or more times. The American Legion is urging DoD and the Department of Veterans Affairs to institute programs that address suicide risk proactively – before veterans are in crisis – and to apply research in developing risk-recognition and intervention strategies, such as educating families to better understand whether a servicemember or veteran is at risk.
