Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan reports on the increasing number of US veterans that are committing suicide and how one family in particular are dealing with their son's decision to take his own life.

New reports suggest that veterans of US wars are committing suicide at a stunning rate.

A growing number of those are recent veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thousands of US troops are returning from the war zones with 'Post Traumatic Stress Disorder' and in the most extreme cases the mental scars leads to the ultimate anguish for their family.
