Last Friday, ArmyLive posted a video on YouTube from SPC Joe Sanders on suicide prevention as part of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. SPC Sanders was deployed when he attempted to commit suicide, but fortunately for him his battle buddy was aware of the signs and was able to step in and save him.
