David Roe: “Current and future servicemembers deserve to know what steps DoD is taking to protect the health of the men and women…”

When suicide occurs in a hospital, a place where the most vulnerable go for help, that loss feels particularly acute.

It is embarrassing to me to go home and to look those folks in the eye who work as hard as they do and write the checks they do to see this big of a disaster, financial disaster.

The VA is not meeting all the needs, otherwise the suicide rate would not be 20 a day and staying there.

With all the metrics and good intentions and all of that, the suicide rates have not changed, so we need to do something different.
