Veterans Who Were Not Counted
Combat PTSD Wounded Times

Since last Veterans Day, a shocking number of veterans have been involved with situations where their lives were on the line along with members of law enforcement.
Unlike some of the national headline grabbing veterans, like Texas, these were happening in every state across the country.
These are some of the reports regarding veterans and law enforcement faced with something they should never have to endure.
Remember, these men and women, on both sides, decided that they would risk their own lives for the sake of others.
None of these losses should happened.

While these reports are probably close to the number of veterans facing law enforcement, it is a reasonable assumption to make that there are more. With 52 weeks in a year, it happens at least once a week but no one counted them.
They risked their lives. Then they faced what they should have never had to face alone.
Isn't it bad enough we do not know how many veterans committed suicide, or attempted it since last Veterans Day? At least people are trying to count them. So who is accountable for these other veterans?
