News site ad in the wrong place at wrong time

This has to be the dumbest ad placement in the history of advertising.
The link to "You've been putting this off too long" opens to doing a will. Yes, a will and it appears right over the report about "Suicide Rate Up Among Young Veterans"


The report is a good one and does honor the men and women serving in the military.

STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) -- They stepped forward to serve when their country called, but now veterans may be the ones in need of help here at home.

Alarming new numbers show more of our country's young warriors are struggling to heal their invisible wounds.

"Any number of suicides is unacceptable," said Cmdr. Mac McCauley, a U.S. Navy veteran, "We're seeing unparalleled trauma from Afghanistan and those veterans who have been in Iraq."

Trauma that lasts long after soldiers return home which is leaving some young veterans to fight another war.

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the number of suicides for male veterans ages 18 to 29 jumped 44 percent in a matter of only three years to a suicide rate of nearly 58 per 100,000 veterans.

"Once these veterans come home, there's a whole different world here for them," said McCauley.

In this fight, McCauley said anyone can make a difference.
