THE ARMY HAS SEEN A RECENT RISE IN SUICIDES...WITH 160 CONFIRMED, ACTIVE-DUTY SUICIDES LAST YEAR ALONE.
Lieutenant Gen. Frank Helmick (left) presents Maj. General Mark Graham and his wife, Carol, with an Iron Mike Statue in 2010 for the Graham's work in raising awareness of depression and suicide after their youngest son, Kevin, took his life.
The Grahams are working to reduce the stigma which often surrounds mental illnesses and depression. 
 
The Grahams's message underscores the importance of treatment and understanding: with the proper support, those who suffer from a mental illness can lead productive and satisfying lives.


"Losing a solider to battle is tough. When that soldier is your son, it's devastating. But losing two soldiers, two sons to different battles rocks a man to his core."
