President Obama has announced that he will begin sending condolence letters to the families of soldiers who have committed suicide. In the past, this initiative has been met with concern and stigma, because many believe that acknowledging suicide is taboo.

President Obama removed that stigma by saying, "This issue is emotional, painful and complicated, but these Americans served our nation bravely. They didn't die because they were weak."

Recently, there has been a much greater push for service member mental health services. President Obama recognizes the extreme mental toll war can produce, and he wants to make sure our soldiers are getting the help they need.

**Sign the petition thanking President Obama for his continued support of our veterans and for taking a real, growing problem out of the stigma in which it once existed.**
