Uncounted military families suffering but not unnoticed by CNN

It is with great pleasure I say CNN got this one not just right, they did a job that had to be done. Too few have reported on the military suicides. Even less have bothered with the families.

THE UNCOUNTED

The Spouse
Liz Snell looked like the perfect military wife, with a resume of volunteer jobs that ran three pages long. The truth was she wanted to die.

Liz Snell was very convincing. There was nothing she worked harder at than hiding the truth.

Deployment after deployment, all the pressure and fear and weight of obligation had worn her down. The urge to make it stop consumed her. One afternoon, she walked into her bedroom closet with a plan.

Six years later, she remembers it like a dream: Standing outside of herself, she watched her hands as they tied a rope into a noose and slipped it over her head.

THE PARENTS
They were twice wounded by war. Their son was killed in Afghanistan; their grieving daughter killed herself.

THE TEENAGER
'A lot of times I blamed my dad for things that happened even though it was the PTSD.' In her words

THE SIBLING
'Freddy was killed in Iraq. Andrew took his own life in Afghanistan. I was supposed to protect them.'
