But many don’t. A recent study by the Veterans Administration found that there are an average of 950 suicide attempts each month by veterans who are receiving treatment from the VA. The same study found that eighteen veterans kill themselves every day in the United States. http://www.navytimes.com/news/2010/04/ military_veterans_suicide_042210w
