Flash Video Remembers 100+ OEF/OIF Veteran Suicides

The tireless combat PTSD advocate Kathie Costos, editor of Nam Guardian Angel, shares this 20-minute tribute to veterans who have fallen as a result of suicide. While the individuals remembered include a handful of coalition troops, the majority that flash before us are our American brothers and sisters. Keeping their families in our hearts, keeping their memories in our minds -- and using the lessons they've taught us to direct our energy towards ensuring those returning home today reject such a fate.



Thank you, Kathie, for the work that you do.
