MILITARY: Six Marine suicides recorded in June
By MARK WALKER

Six active-duty Marines took their own lives in June, raising the number of self-inflicted deaths among leathernecks this year to 24.

The number provides fresh evidence that the Marine Corps' efforts, like that of all the service branches, continues to struggle in reducing suicides. The 24 deaths so far this year compare with 32 for all of last year and 37 recorded in 2010.

An additional 14 Marines attempted suicide in June, raising the number of suicide attempts for the year to 100. That compares with 163 attempts recorded last year and 172 in 2010.
