It’s estimated that 20 veterans die by suicide every day in America, and only about six of them were recent users of the Veterans Health Administration services. Senator Jon Tester (D-Mont.) says outreach to veterans remains a significant issue. “We’ve got to do a better job of letting folks know that this is a different VA than it was when the Vietnam veterans came back home. We’ve got to let people know that this is a VA that’s going to work for them, and if it doesn’t then it’s up to folks like Sen. Moran and myself to hold them accountable.”
