South Jersey's
war heroes
Since the war on terror began, 29 military men
and women with direct ties to South Jersey have
died in Iraq or Afghanistan.
No matter how anyone feels about why we've engaged in this war, we
should never fail to honor those who volunteer to serve our nation
and risk their lives to do so. We have tremendously brave soldiers
who know that every day they spend in Iraq and Afghanistan, they
risk dying.
Here are the initial stories the Courier-Post
wrote about these heroes.
VA Launches Suicide
Hotline To
ensure veterans with emotional crises have round-the-clock access
to trained professionals, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
has begun operation of a national suicide prevention hot line for
veterans. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson said:
"Veterans need to know these VA professionals are literally a
phone call away. All service members who experience the stresses
of combat can have wounds on their minds as well as their bodies.
Veterans should see mental health services as another benefit they
have earned, which the men and women of VA are honored to
provide." The toll-free hot line number is 1 (800) 273-TALK
(8255).
