Sept. 20 (UPI) -- The Department of Veteran Affairs said on Monday that veteran suicide deaths in 2020 fell at the fastest rate in the past 14 years, showing the success of the VA's efforts to reduce troubled service members.
The 2022 National Veterans Suicide Prevention Annual report said suicides decreased for the second year in a row, and reached their lowest numbers since 2016. The VA has been addressing the issue through its National Strategy for Prevention of Veteran Suicide.
