Suicides - American Soldiers

32 soldiers killed themselves in June, 2010, the highest number in a single month since the Vietnam era. Twenty-one of them were on active duty, while 11 were in the National Guard or Army Reserve in an inactive status.

Seven of those soldiers killed themselves while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Army numbers.



I don't know their individual names or I would publish them here so that they would be remembered forever....who else is going to remember them? 


Father do not abandon these men. 


Mary, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis.
