The long dark hours of the winter season are once again back in Alaska, creating a feeling of isolation for many — including the thousands of military personnel stationed here.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
In a letter given to families and soldiers of the 11th Airborne Division, leaders from the U.S. Army said, “The recent spike in deaths is obviously troubling, and all the suicide prevention measures announced in 2021 have been put into place and are ongoing.” Being in contact with our soldiers, the Army says, is not the same as being connected with our soldiers.
The 11th Airborne Division’s Commanding General also stated that, “We must remain resolute in our efforts to prevent the unnecessary loss of life. This remains my #1 priority.” The new installations are part of an attempt to get soldiers out of the barracks and outside, which would allow them to have places to connect with others. Getting outside and doing that, Goodman noted, is important — even if that means a soldier has to step out of their comfort zone.
