While today we rightfully take a moment to think of our veterans who died throughout our many wars, it should also be a time to note that an average of 18 veterans a day commit suicide, which is more than two 9/11s (18/22?) every year.
Of course that might just be the same ratio as the general population anyway, but if we're gonna think about our vets who were killed in battle then we should also think about those who maybe didn't HAVE TO die, and ask ourselves questions such as is this number what it is because of the positions we place them in, or how we treat them when they come back from those situations?
