Mr. President, we the undersigned volunteers, supporters and staff of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention urge you to reduce stigma and prevent suicide by:

(1)    Changing the long standing White House policy of not sending condolence letters to the families of military personnel who die in theatre by suicide.

(2)    Continuing your support of the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs as they create and implement programs and services to prevent suicide in the active military and among our veterans.
