Six weeks ago Special Forces veteran Johnny Primo logged on to his Instagram account and says he was horrified to see a suicide note from a veteran who lived just a few miles away.

The note read: “Very few people know the truth … I want this in everyone’s memory.” Desperate to help, Primo tracked down his address.

“I was 45 minutes too late from him taking his own life,” said Primo. “Immediately it was a gut wrenching feeling, knowing that there was a chance that if he had my phone number he wouldn’t have killed himself.”

Primo called friend and fellow veteran Casey Gray and that night they launched anInstagramhire vets suicide prevention page by posting a message pleading with veterans who are having suicidal thoughts to call them, day or night.
