Having battled his own demons in civilian life, Jerry Edwards has decided to reach out to other veterans — and the public at large — with a series of blunt but realistic public service announcements about veteran suicide. “I’m not going to pull any punches with these,” said the Gainesville man, who leads the nonprofit organization North Georgia Veteran’s Outreach Center. “They’re all based on people I know ... and what we experience day in, day out — the nightmares, the day terrors, the way we don’t like leaving the house,” said Edwards, who served in the Army 1988-96, with tours in the Gulf War and Bosnia.
