United We Roll

On Tuesday 3-5 EDT, Judi Barnes is hosting a show regarding the high rates of suicides in veterans and she has some good guests lined up-

the last hour of the will be hosted by Jerrel Cook from SVR.

I am sure our SVR Wednesday show will also do some follow up to this important subject-

I will read Dr. Kussman's (VHA) letter on the air again-

as he gave veterans and families members much good advise on this horrific tragedy that is befalling so many veterans.

An Iraq vet recently at the VCS blog has noted a very high incidence in his area (Oregon -Washington state)of suicides in Iraq vets there and I posted here some time ago how a father of a deceased vet who committed suicide on the east coast had found 4 other veterans,dead due to suicide, in his locale who also had been on the same meds that VA prescribed.

Not only can war trauma cause the devasting pattern of suicial ideation but some meds can too.

This show be an informative show and I hope many will listen to it.

"United We Roll" button at Stardust Radio- chat room available -toll free call ins 1-877-213-4329-

I am trying to obtain a VA suicide expert and behavioral co ordinator as a guest for one of these shows in the future.
