A US Army vet survived 3 bomb blasts but nearly killed himself at home. He's undergone a personal transformation and emerged with a renewed perspective on how his story might contribute to the broader effort of combating suicides among US veterans

"A veteran suicide rate that is one and half times higher than the civilian rate: This is an unconscionable urgent crisis requiring immediate action.
