According to the Defense Department, most military suicides are among people with no history of deployment.
Peggy Scallorn’s 18-year-old son Cody was part of that statistic. Cody was in the Air Force and was only a few months out of basic training last January when he took his own life.
Anchor Marco Werman talks to Scallorn about her son.
