memorial day, ptsd + suicide mention 

it's memorial day here in the usa

much has been said about remembering lives lost overseas, but i don't like glorifying war. i prefer to use today to remember the veterans who came back with war trauma, didn't get adequate mental health support from the country they fought for, and saw no better option than to take their own lives. those are the real forgotten casualties
