HOLLYWOOD, CA -(RYM)- The health of veterans takes a toll on the body of the military. A recent report, written by, Patricia Kime, and published by Millitary.com showed a difference in statistics of suicides in the United States Military. The publication compared statistics from independent researchers, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. The VA’s latest stats were published this past Monday, September 19th, however, new analysis 2 days prior to the publishing, unidentified independent researchers shows a rate of more than double the VA’s estimate when accounting for: death certificate and records errors, accidental drug overdoses, and unexplained deaths.

“We know that suicide is preventable, and we at VA are well positioned to address this urgent and serious matter,” said Dr. Tamara Campbell, acting executive director for the VA’s office of Mental Health and Suicide Prevention, speaking to reporters during a roundtable Friday.”
As Veterans seek what they need to enter a state of normalcy following their service, Many are searching for alternatives for their next step. The Central Oregon Veterans Ranch, focuses on doing just that while helping every veteran that comes through their doors. Founder, Alison Perry, a former trauma therapist for the Portland, Oregon VA Medical Center, found herself seeing firsthand what it was like for veterans after their service was complete.
