The suicide rate among American soldiers is steadily rising. In fact, over the past two years, the military has seen more deaths by suicide than by combat. The rise in suicides demonstrates that stress associated with being in combat is only growing for our brave troops.

We'll never know what soldiers experience without seeing it ourselves, but it's safe to say that what they endure can certainly contribute to post-deployment challenges as well as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

We need to create more comprehensive programs — that soldiers can turn to during and after deployment — that are designed to address the psychological issues they may be encountering due to their time served in the military.

**Sign the petition in support of programs that would address soldiers' psychological well-being both during and after deployment.**
