ALBANY, Ore. (AP) - Oregon is moving to curb the rising number of suicides among the state's veterans. The director of the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs, Jim Willis, says his agency was launching a television and print campaign to publicize a suicide-prevention lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK.
Willis said anyone should call who suspects a veteran is considering suicide.
Oregon ranks 13th in the nation for calls on the nationally run help line but is 37th in population.
