SAL Commander: Suicide prevention becomes a very real story while in VA medical center
As some of you know, I was quite ill, and I spent 16 days in the VA hospital. I have to voice my admiration and respect for the doctors and nurses, especially the nurses. While I was in the hospital, a veteran friend of mine and I were on the phone. He was on speaker, and he was saying that he was going to commit suicide.
