The authors reflect on the surveillance of suicide and suicide attempts among U.S. military veterans. They suggest that the need for improved and expanded surveillance of suicide and suicide attempts is well recognized. They argue that a surveillance system for veterans and others which can assess suicide risk and manage those individuals with an established risk of suicidal behavior is needed
