(MILWAUKEE) – Service-member suicides are quickly becoming a crisis in America. In addition to fighting the global war on terror, service members and veterans are left to battle postwar symptoms related to PTSD and it's taking a tragic toll. Last year, the US Military recorded its highest number of suicides among active-duty personnel in at least six years.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning Tori Bokios shares the story of Shelly Lopez, a Milwaukee veteran who found some creative relief through the arts.
