Why this petition matters

Started by Daren Jaques
My name is Daren Jaques, and I am a veteran who has struggled with mental health issues including thoughts of suicide. I want to help raise awareness for veterans who struggle with mental health. Veterans commit suicide at alarming rates. Around 20 die every day. That equals 9/11’s death toll every single year, and exceeds the Vietnam war’s death toll since 9/11. That’s 6,000 suicides per year and 60,000 over the last ten. Please sign and encourage major news organizations to spend ONE DAY devoted to covering EVERY suicide. If the news can cover every Corona Virus death, they can cover every suicide. Thank you.
