Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and colleagues in introducing the Save Our Servicemembers (S.O.S.) Act that would require the U.S. Department of Defense to take immediate action to step up suicide prevention efforts for uniformed service members. The legislation follows an alarming report which revealed a 15 percent increase in military suicides in 2020 from the year before.
“Our men and women in uniform dedicate their lives in service to our nation, and we should ensure that they have the best support available when they need it the most,” Rubio said. “I am proud to join Senators Ernst and Kelly in sounding the alarm on the rising number of military suicides.
