The family says the military does not help with funeral costs when someone dies by suicide.

EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) - The family of an Evansville soldier who spent two years serving in Afghanistan has one final wish as they try to lay him to rest.

23-year-old Robert Moroney was the strong, silent type, with one thing on his mind. “He always said he was going to be a soldier,” said his mother, Gina Hayes.

His pictures now line the dining room table as the family prepares for something they never thought would happen. Robert's family says what he witnessed during combat drastically changed him. "He was walking away, she was crying, and she blew up. She had a bomb strapped to her. Her father put it there."

Robert committed suicide last week, and his family wants other veterans to know they aren't alone. read more here
