Purple Heart's Final Beat - A Soldier Suicide Story

Via Jeremy S.: This is must-see.

"A cry for help from SecondClassCitizen.org, dedicated to an old friend.

This story is far too true, and far too common. Soldiers returning from war, only to be oppressed by the same system they swore allegiance to protect. This film chronicles the last day in the life of one soldier - or many - as countless veterans every month end their lives in desperation."

I have a problem with this clip though, in that according to this website Lance Waldorf was married at the time of his suicide:

The film leaves one with the impression that the subject is Lance Waldorf, and that he took his life because of frustration with his divorce and child support. Neither of these appear to be true, which to me is unnecessarily misleading.
