Those who took their own lives. Those who are missing in action in a different way – homeless on our streets or lost in their own homes. Those who are a different kind of prisoner of war – a war in their minds, imprisoned in our jails. – a war in their minds, imprisoned in our jails. And those who were caught in the crossfire – law enforcement officers, family members, mental health professionals, friends.
