Episode description

Connecting Vets reporter Elizabeth Howe takes us through a new DoD report that might be pointing to COVID as a cause for a recent spike in suicides. Could isolation, fear, and travel restrictions be the cause of this rise in suicides this year? Then Connecting Vets reporter Abbie Bennett discusses a new report about the ongoing issues of racism at the VA. Did a Kool-Aid, watermelon, and fried chicken meal to celebrate Juneteenth cross the line? (Hint: Yes...it did)
