More military veterans died by suicide than the Department of Veterans Affairs had previously reported, a new study found.
Iraq war veteran couple Colleen Ryan and Jeff Hensley of the U.S. Navy comfort each other as they help set up U.S. flags on the National Mall on March 27, 2014, to represent veterans and service members who died by suicide.
"It’s devastating," said Jim Lorraine, AWP’s president, who served in the Air Force for 22 years."I’m not only a veteran myself. My son serves, my son-in-law serves. My wife is a vet. I know a lot of veterans who have died from suicide." “We’re not pointing fingers at anyone," Lorraine said."We’re just saying it’s sobering to look at the numbers.”
In a statement, VA press secretary Terrence Hayes said ending veteran suicide was the agency's top clinical priority, and that the methodology behind the VA’s National Suicide Prevention report was “well-established and consistent. Suicide is a national public health issue, with more than 45,000 Americans dying by suicide each year.
