teach them post 9/11 w PTSD aren't at highest risk. Vietnam vets still have highest risk. Why doesn't CONGRESS ADDRESS THAT?
Community providers are a key partner in the comprehensive effort to end veteran suicide. At a Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee hearing, I called on the VA to ensure these providers are prepared to address this crisis.pic.twitter.com/gwbJiyWPkE

Something maybe overlooked - 25% of the soldiers that served in 'Nam were conscripted (19/20 YO) & 90% of them in the infantry. Very tuff spot for those who disagreed with the war. All Nam vet's - over twice as many suicides as combat death's & 250,000 w/PTSD today.

Senator, I'm a constituent and I'm very concerned about President Trump's pushing of Esketamine, a drug of very questionable efficacy, on the VA per this article in The Guardian. I ask that your office investigate. Thanks for all the great work you do.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jun/17/spravato-ketamine-like-drug-that-experts-doubt-and-trump-is-pushing-on-veterans?CMP=share_btn_tw …
