I just got off the phone with a tenant at one of the buildings we manage - a young Marine Iraq vet from 29 Palms has been found dead next door in the apartment he was housesitting for another Marine. Apparent suicide (drug OD). They are waiting for the coroner as I write this. Please say a prayer for him and his family.

Sad news indeed.

May he rest in peace, his torment at an end. May his family be given strength in their time of suffering.

Unfortunately, suicides are at very high rates currently in the military, despite a lot of effort to help.
