To all of you out there thinking about suicide -
I have been there too.
I work at VA. I see stories like this every day. Some have a happy ending; many don't.
If you are contemplating suicide, contact me directly. We'll figure out what to do together.
You aren't alone.

Prevention, education and responsiveness of the VA will go a long way to reducing the number. It still won't be zero but where we are now is just unacceptable.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
Sounds like a reasonable plan, just don't understand why its been so hard to implement.
