Roughly 80 days for anyone wondering.

That's kick ass. I work at a VA and see a lot of guys struggling, anything to bring awareness helps.

Edit:

For veterans who are looking for help, these folks do great work.

Here's a great organization that helps to prevent solider suicide

Stop Soldier Suicide was made by veteran's for veteran's.

You can always help by donating, having events, and volunteering. You can even make it your Facebook birthday donation event to raise awareness and help them out.

You can also volunteer at your local VA or donate as well

I found out 3 days ago that 3 out of 40 of the Marines I deployed with 2 years ago have killed themselves. Shits fucked.
