This has strong support from key veterans groups, like the VFW and The American Legion.
We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.
If you look at the chart comparing women veterans to female non-veterans, you can see in that chart that actually the female veterans' number is lower than the female non-veterans.
So we have a situation in our country where 22 veterans commit suicide everyday.
