Military veterans made up 8.7 percent of Oregon's population
between 2008 and 2012, but they accounted for 23 percent of the
state's suicides during that period, according to a recent state
report.
Source: www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2014/07/rate_of_suicide_among_oregon_m.html
The self-inflicted deaths were committed most often by males, but the dead covered all age groups, including veterans of long-ended wars. In fact, the largest segment of suicide victims were men over the age of 55, according to statistics analyzed and reported from the Oregon Violent Death Reporting System by the Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division.
