The Battle for Hearts and Minds of Service Members in The Big Easy
In 2018, in a unit I was with, we would see two back to back suicides in the late summer/early fall of 2018 just 45 days apart in the largest section of our unit (about 80 Marines) to include a Chief Warrant Officer. He had shot himself and his teenage daughter came home to find blood everywhere. To this day, nobody is quite sure what happened. Another married Corporal in his section who seemed like he was getting help for some of his issues also committed suicide not long after.
