VIETNAM VETERAN WANTS MILITARY OFFICIALS TO CHANGE SUICIDE PREVENTION POLICIES

A VIETNAM VETERAN IS SPEAKING OUT AND WANTS MILITARY OFFICIALS TO CHANGE THEIR POLICIES CONCERNING SUICIDE PREVENTION.

            ACCORDING TO RON ZALENSKI OF FLORIDA, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT SUICIDES AMONG TROOPS ONLY GOES SO FAR.

            ZALENSKI AND A GROUP OF HIS FRIENDS WANT OFFICIALS TO IMPLEMENT SUICIDE PREVENTION POLICIES WHEN SOLDIERS FIRST JOIN THE MILITARY.

            FOR OVER 30-YEARS, THE VIETNAM VETERAN HAS WALKED BAREFOOT TO HONOR HIS FELLOW COMRADES WHO WERE KILLED IN ACTION AND RECENTLY TRAVELED TO FORT CAMPBELL TO MEET WITH TROOPS TO STOP SUICIDES.

            IF YOU KNOW A SOLDIER WHO IS NEEDS HELP, CONTACT FORT CAMPBELL’S SUICIDE PREVENTION OFFICE AT 270-412-64-28.
