Help Us End Veteran Suicide
An excerpt from the Veterans Health Administrations report in 2019 below:
“We cannot do this alone,” Dr. Richard Stone, executive in charge of the Veterans Health Administration, wrote in an open letter accompanying the department’s suicide report released last month. “We call on our community partners to join us in this effort.”
We at the James Lee Burkett Memorial Foundation are here to answer the Call. Will you join us and donate today?
“Every day, approximately 22 American veterans commit suicide, totaling over 8,000 veteran suicides each year — I repeat, 8,000 veteran suicides each year.”
–Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Senate hearing, Feb. 3, 2015
