Military suicides drop as leaders push new programs

FILE - Flags and tributes mark the Memorial Day holiday at Fort Logan National Cemetery in southeast Denver, May 31, 2021. A new report and Pentagon data show that suicides across the active duty U.S. military decreased over the past 18 months, driven by sharp drops in the Air Force and Marine Corps last year and a similar decline among Army soldiers during the first six months of this year.
