Two fellow Soldiers saved the life of full-time Arkansas Army National Guard Sgt. 1st Class James Powell, seen here outside a readiness center in Hot Springs, Ark., on April 15, 2010, when they went to his home, found him hanging from the ceiling and cut him down. Intervention at the first signs of trouble and having experts who are available to listen are crucial to helping troubled Soldiers before they ever reach that point, Powell said. "Somebody who's borderline suicidal, the last thing they need to do is be talking to answering machines all day," he said. "All that does is push you over."
