Associate Pastor Bill Graham is very familiar with suicide in the military, and just recently, he saw an example of intervention that helped a soldier “on the brink of making a bad choice.”
Graham, a retired Army chaplain of 25 years, is an associate pastor of missions and ministries at First Baptist Church in downtown Clarksville.
“One of our ministries is the military,” he said, explaining that the church has an ongoing weekly program for soldiers and family members called, “Combat Trauma: Bridges to Solutions.”
A soldier in the small group recognized some alarming symptoms in another soldier, who “was not making good choices in dealing with issues,” which he brought to the attention of those who could help.
