How many Vietnam Vets die per day?

SP5 Mark Kuzinski Unbelievable amount of loss in lives during this war and to be treated the way those veterans that did return or make it back, just makes me sick - this nation owes such a debt of gratitude to all these young men and women that served their country (those that volunteered and those that were drafted). We need to spend the rest of our lives making sure that "we" veterans make-up for a country that was very selfish and self centered at the time and didn't treat their own with dignity and self-repect when they returned from any war, esepcailly this one. I know I will spend the rest of my days doing everything I can to make sure they know that I respect them, I'm grateful, I'm thankful for their sacrifices, and will do whatever I can to make a wrong a right in their eyes for their reamining days on this earth. I'm ashamed of our country at that time - just ashamed! This is my personal feelings that I'm sharing, so keep that in mind if you disagree with my personal thoughts on the matter!

We hear numbers bandied about all the time. 22 veterans per day committing suicide, 390 Vietnam veterans per day dying. It would be nice to see where these numbers are coming from. I hear denials of the accuracy of the numbers but do not know where to find the official count and the data as to how the count is done (i.e. what is counted and what is not counted).

SP5 Mark Kuzinski thanks for the read and share!
