Thank you, @dianafalzone, for shining a light on grief in the military community right now.

[NewsNation @NewsNation]

Bonnie Carroll established the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors in 1994 as a pivotal support system for loved ones mourning the loss of a servicemember. Carroll told NewsNation's @dianafalzone that Americans during the Iran war may feel “desensitized” to the loss families of slain service members are going through.

The following statement was issued today on behalf of the family of Jason Collins:

“We are heartbroken to share that Jason Collins, our beloved husband, son, brother and uncle, has died after a valiant fight with glioblastoma. Jason changed lives in unexpected ways and was an inspiration to all who knew him and to those who admired him from afar.  We are grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers over the past eight months and for the exceptional medical care Jason received from his doctors and nurses.  Our family will miss him dearly.”
