Is veteran suicide a thing?

In 2008, the Marines' 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines returned from Afghanistan. They were engaged in heavy combat the entire time they were there.

That year, the Battalion suffered 20 KIA, 160 WIA, including 30 amputees. Four Marines were awarded our nation's 2nd highest combat medal, the Navy Cross.

Since their return until 2022, 51 had committed suicide.

51. This is the story of an effort to put a stop to suicides..
