Jacob Hutchinson, who had both legs and an arm injured while serving in the Iowa National Guard in Afghanistan, stands in the living room of his new home Nov. 28, 2012 in Bloomington, Ind. Hutchinson wore the physical wounds of war. Jagged scars from an improvised explosive device that nearly tore off his lower legs. Precision-cut lines from more than 20 surgeries to repair the damage. But it was the emotional toll from serving as a combat medic in Afghanistan that likely caused the 24-year-old National Guard veteran and Purple Heart recipient to kill himself on April 22 inside the Bloomington house a military organization had donated to him.
