There are approx 19 million vets

Imposible to get a firm figure on the tragic trend but one veteran suicide is one too many.

Three links....

22 Suicides A Day! – TADSAWhttps://tadsaw.org › 22-suicides-a-day
Every single day, 22 veterans take their own lives. That’s 22 suicides a day, a suicide every 65 minutes. As shocking as that number is, the real number may actually be higher.

“If those figures were to be repeated across the other states, it would push the veterans suicide rate from about 17 individuals a day (the official estimate released by the Department of Veterans Affairs last year) to 44 veterans a day.”
