The VA is not meeting all the needs, otherwise the suicide rate would not be 20 a day and staying there.
I will not sit here and tell you that I am going to give you a metric and that we will eliminate veteran suicide.
I think one of the most distressing statistics I heard during our roundtable in Tennessee was that the second-leading cause of death between the ages of 10 and 34 is suicide.
We have to reach out and try to find those 14 who never get to the VA, never get the care.
