For forgiving this this for myforgive son. He was one of the first 17 that landed in afghanistan. President clinton gave me , but your guest is so right they want you to be there.

re-qualify under the veteran benefits. it s in no way shape or form complete. it s not the total answer, but we believe it s a step in the right direction for the veterans. richard and susan selke, taking your personal anger here oh, i am getting choked up. thank you for being with us and thanks for your work. thank you. we ll be right back.
addressed. each of these young men faced barrier after barrier in their struggle to get help. each one of these young men eventually succumbed to suicide. clay s parents were among those sitting in front of the committee today, pushing for the americans veterans act and to pressure the v.a. to do better. susan selke, the mother of clay hunt, is here with me now. it s an honor to have you here with me now. obviously, i am so sorry for your loss and admire the courage it must take to talk about it to help others. you say had he had better care, he might be alive today. do you blame the v.a.? blame is a hard word. do you hold them at all responsible? yes. he did not get the care that he needed. obviously, it ended in his death. just the general protocol, i guess, seems to be medication. mostly medication, or at that
as far as getting the right care, obviously and this is what happened with clay. in the mental help area, there just was not a seamless transition from active duty to v.a. when he was active duty he was injured and diagnosed in 2007. so for two years, he received care for post traumatic stress while he was active duty. and that was seemed to be fairly good. he seemed to be doing okay. it was when he got out and went to the v.a., it all went downhill. he had to be such a proactive advocate for his own care. and it was exhausting to the point he just couldn t do it anymore. susan selke, thank you for your courage. we are sorry for your loss. if you are watching at home, you have pts or having a difficult
