infantry battalion in iraq. when our unit came home, i had a young soldier who died by committing suicide. this is a personal issue. and you also mentioned that we have 22 veterans that are dying of suicide each day. so we have an epidemic in this country that needs to be solved and i want to solve that problem. >> this is hard to think of suicide as having a public policy solution. i think a lot of issues like this, it's hard to get your head around what can be done from a public policy perspective to solve a problem that seems to personal. this bill is fairly comprehensive, it takes seven different approaches to try to tackle it. what do you think is the most important thing in the bill, what do you think works or could most be done to prevent suicide among veterans. >> we have a shortage of mental health care providers, we opened a brand new facility in montana, right next to our va hospital,
