Using 2005 data, it is estimated that there are approximately 8.9 suicides for every 100,000 Americans. Surprisingly, the same data uncovered Veterans committed suicide at a rate twice that of non-Veterans or 18.7-20.8 per 100,000. See CBS Study on American and Veteran Suicides. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/13/cbsnews_investigates/main3498625.shtml
