Veteran's widow sues U.S. over his suicide - Military- msnbc.com

This tragic story echoes throughout the United States during this time of "war". The VA mental health system needs major overhauling. Not only does the VA need to provide more regular mental health care for Iraq veterans but the VA should provide services to aid the spouses and families of the Iraq veterans.

The system is a large cavernous bureaucracy with forms and red tape abundant. As far as personal experience, there is no one out there to help the families and spouses of Iraq veterans maneuver through the red tape. Thus, the problem could be quelled by providing assistance and guidance for these spouses and family members who are charged with the care of the mentally ill veterans.

There is a large need for services to be provided to spouses and family members of disabled Iraq veterans. This blog is dedicated to provide the most information possible to aid the spouses in aiding our soldiers who have been failed by our military and VA system. If you or your family member has a question regarding services or assistance, please comment or email me below. I will do my best to aid you in any way possible. We are performing our duties as vowed to our spouses, who selflessly served a world away.
