Veterans Suicide MemorialPrint Page 
The stone commemorates military personnel and civilians who have been traumatised by their service and have committed suicide.
A plaque that pays tribute to the men and women who have served in the armed forces but later lost their lives due to suicide will be unveiled at the Goodna Services Club on Saturday. A commemorative service will held for the unveiling of the new memorial stone at 3pm, which coincides with Veterans' Suicide Memorial Day.
Goodna RSL Sub Branch veteran support officer Phil Allen would like to see as many people as possible from the community come out and pay their respects. "Veterans' Suicide Memorial Day started nationally in 2016,” he said. "With many soldiers turning to suicide, we felt it was only appropriate to unveil our new memorial stone on the same day. "We received funding from all three levels of government, which we are very grateful for.”
