Suicide. Every 16 minutes someone in the United States commits suicide; each year about 5,000 are veterans.
The VA has established a comprehensive suicide- prevention program, which includes coordinators at every VA medical center, pocket-sized suicide risk-assessment cards, and a national suicide-prevention hotline. The center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an option to speak to a veteran at all times.
The American Legion plays a key role in the fight to prevent suicide among veterans, by taking part in VA's SAVE program: search for possible signs of suicide, ask questions, validateencourage treatment and expedite the process of getting help. the life of a potential suicide victim, and
Suicide risk assessment is a process, not an event. Most suicide ideas are associated with the presence of an underlying, treatable disorder.
VA National Suicide Prevention Hotline:

Chewers beware. A pinch between cheek and gums delivers the same amount of carcinogen chemicals as smoking five cigarettes, leading towards pancreatic and oral cancers.

Wreaths Across America
What started off as a wreath laying gesture at the Arlington National Cemetery is spreading across the country.
