Sen John Walsh, a battalion commander with the Montana National Guard in 2005, has introduced a new bill to help prevent military suicides. With 22 service members killing themselves each day, do you think bill is a step in the right direction?

Sen. John Walsh of Montana, the first Iraq war combat veteran to serve in the Senate, has introduced legislation to reduce suicides among military veterans.

It's a tragic event when someone does this; even with military members/veterans. It's good that there's being positive steps toward getting care. Hopefully they live up to the promise.
