After a record number of soldiers killed themselves last year, the number of suicides is on pace to be even higher this year.

Another 31 deaths appear to be suicides but are still being investigated.  Army Secretary Pete Geren told the AP, &quot;Army leaders are fully aware that repeated deployments have led to increased distress and anxiety for both soldiers and their families.&quot;  Friday morning at Fort Drum, officials are drawing attention to the danger of suicide with a memorial walk at 11 am.  The public is invited to attend.  David Sommerstein spoke with Ralph Marcellus, the coordinator of Fort Drum&apos;s suicide awareness and prevention campaign.
