When the struggle doesn’t end on the battlefield

Military casualties don’t only occur on a traditional battlefield, Graham Knowlton, told a large audience at Belgium’s Memorial Day ceremony on Monday.

As the lead suicide prevention coordinator at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, he sees it all too often.

“Memorial Day is often thought of as a day to remember those who have died in a battle in a faraway land. Lives lost at the hand of a foreign enemy protecting our country,” he said.
