Military Suicides - What TAPS is Doing to Help
Posted 3/10/2010 8:00:00 AM
Hill Air Force Base in Utah has hired a psychologist and staff in response to a rash of suicides, mostly among civilians, but some service members, complaining of harsh working conditions.  A Hill spokesman says at least 25 suicides have been confirmed since 2006, mostly committed off the base.  The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, or TAPS, say suicides are also a problem at Fort Campbell in Kentucky and Tennessee.

A friend of mine was aktive duty. He got murdert in base housing while he was on quaters. His headstone reads golf war. Now here is what happend.He was divorced and he left a will and paperwork saying that in any case if anything would ever happen to him, he wanted his son to go to his parents, along with his lifeinsurance money and social benefits. He had that all in writting. He got found dead in his house and even the police who was there said that they don't think it was a suicide. THey found a suicide note in hidden in a hershey can saying : i can't see the light of the end from the tunnel" ( or something like that) Lateron it turned out it was not his hand writting. So now whit him having those papers,being divorced , and having his parents there for in case of emergency's . So the police says that he comitted suicide, than why does his wife get lifeinsurance and social benefit money? why did she get the child? Why does her son get the collge paid from the military? Why does it say goldwar on his head stone. Why was his rank a airman first class when he was a staff? DO you still have his records on file? Can his parents get copys of his records?
