A new bill is being introduced in Illinois... It says that "an injury in the active performance of duty includes a self-inflicted injury when a mental health professional establishes that the injury was a result of the officer's active duty service"
What about our Soldiers and Vets? How many have lost their lives to suicides due to the anguish of what they experienced in service? What would such a bill mean to them and their families?
