Worry - Illustration Friday



Can you see everything hidden in the image?
"More American military veterans have been committing suicide than US soldiers have been dying in Iraq. At least 6,256 US veterans took their lives in 2005, at an average of 17 a day. Former servicemen are more than twice as likely than the rest of the population to commit suicide. Such statistics compare to the total of 3,863 American military deaths in Iraq since the invasion in 2003 - an average of 2.4 a day, according to the website ICasualties.org." - American Suicide Soldiers, http://themanicramblingsofaswede.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/american-suicide-soldiers/ This Memorial Day show your appreciation for those who have lost their lives serving our country as well as those who are serving as we continue to live free. Feel free to comment.
