According to a Veterans Affairs report this spring, a veteran commits suicide every 80 minutes.

In the aftermath of WWI, they were dropping at the rate of two per day. The numbers have only climbed since then.

That comparison is even more extreme when one considers the incredible numeric difference in the two wars. So many more WWII veterans compared to the Sand Wars.
