“Wait, how did he know that?”

This was the immediate response from a student at The Washington Center last night after his classmate correctly answered my question on the number of veteran suicides per day.

I was surprised – not that someone knew the answer but at the challenge to his quick response. I feel like the scale of the crisis, 22 per day, is common knowledge, but I guess not everyone knows.

To me, veteran suicide awareness is booming. I see it all over Facebook and all over Twitter. There are groups and hashtags, events and fundraisers, books, and so much more spotlighting the crisis of suicide among veterans.
