This is graph on the rates of active-duty military sucicides from 1980-2009. I chose the graph because in a way it realtes to my topic. Many soldiers that end up with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, do end up comitting suicide or driving themself close to it. I thought that this graph would help for people to see that suicide caused from PTSD is serious. This doesn't even include soldiers that are not on active duty. The amount from 2001 to 2009 increased by 160. Suicide is a very prevelent effect of PTSD, this is why I want to bring attention to PTSD and it's causes and effects, and just to help get it out there.
