Abstract

Although official data have reported an average number of suicides in the veterans of the Vietnam War, the veterans themselves estimate that the death toll from suicide may be 8 to 10 times the official toll. Attention is drawn to a website honoring those veterans of the war who have committed suicide: www.suicidewall.com
