America’s veterans make up about 6% of the adult population but account for about 20% of all suicides.

That means that each day, about 18 veterans will die by suicide.

But targeted prevention can help reverse the tide. #VeteransDay #SuicidePrevention

In 2001, I swore to defend the Constitution and the freedom of The People of the United States. 9/11 happened a month after I started basic training, and in 2003 I spent 5 months in the middle east doing my duty.

22 years later, The People thanked the service of veterans like me by voting in a draft dodging insurrectionist who has threatened to suspend the Constitution and who just loves to cozy up with our enemies.

You know what? You can keep your thanks.
