A lot of veterans are out there. They do not know were they placed or not, and I think your ship locator is going to be a great tool to be able to verify, much easier for the Navy than for the Army, I think.
Roe emphasizes the need for a ship locator for veterans' verification.

With all the metrics and good intentions and all of that, the suicide rates have not changed, so we need to do something different.
When suicide occurs in a hospital, a place where the most vulnerable go for help, that loss feels particularly acute.
The members here have heard me say this many times, in the Guard in Tennessee we have a program called Guard Your Buddy, which has been shown to reduce suicide by almost 70 percent.
I believe we have to really get back and reconstitute our mental health infrastructure in this country.
