For years, the Department of Veterans Affairs reported an average of 20 veterans died by suicide every day – an often-cited statistic that raised alarm nationwide about the rate of veteran suicide.
However, the statistic has long been misunderstood, according to a report released this week.
The VA has now revealed the average daily number of veteran suicides has always included deaths of active-duty servicemembers and members of the National Guard and Reserve, not just veterans.

put this out to anyone you know with PTSD related problems.
Book two is in full swing collecting stories from First responders and medical
personnel and military and just normal people who have gotten or suffer from
PTSD related problems. Looking for their stories to add to my book and no
one will know it is their story unless they want people to know. I am going
to write off of them stories and print my new book next year. All they have
to do is send email to [login to see] or
