The small American flags flying over the white crosses in Jennifer McNulty’s front yard Thursday accompanied photos of 22 servicemen and women who have taken their own lives. She pointed to the picture of a handsome man in a green Army jacket in the front row. “This is my husband,” she said. “He died Oct. 31, 2012.” Jennifer’s husband, Sgt. Wyatt McNulty, suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury. He was in the military for 11 years, serving in Kosovo and suffering the brain injury during training before being deployed to Iraq. He was out for seven years before his death. “Ever since he came home from Iraq he wasn’t the same,” Jennifer said/ Devin Heilman , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here .
