Amarillo VA Spotlights Suicide Prevention

At least 22 military veterans committed suicide at VA centers in the U.S. in the last 18 months, including a Texas man who shot himself in the waiting room of a VA clinic in April.

Men and women who have been trained to take on and solve problems on their own sometimes have trouble asking for help.

A veteran you know and love may be struggling with an issue that can easily be addressed.
