You need to site where you are getting your statistics on the suicide rate of soldiers.  It would also be nice to see where you found out the number of standing psychiatrists in the Army (they usually hold personnel strength numbers pretty close to the vest as a matter of information security). 
The tone you take is good, full of ethos and quite passionate but your approach would be more effective if you did a little more research into some of the proposed solutions that others have posited.  Being a vet myself I can tell you that the system has improved as far as access to care is concerned, the real problem lies in the psychological guilt of leaving one's comrades to fight without you.  I got out at the end of February after nearly six years of thinking nothing but "How am I gonna survive this?" only to turn on the news and see that a lot of my friends aren't making it back, this is the cross today's veterans are to bare.  A wounded soldier is still a soldier, you still feel bad that you can't go back, even if you are too scared mentally or physically to return.  This mentality is propogated and encouraged even by the warrior ethos which is drilled into soldiers these days by command because they can't afford to lose even one of us.  Like you said our Army only has 500,000 members, might sound like a lot but if you consider that we are fighting a war on two fronts and that not all of those soldiers are battle ready you will realize how desperate the military is to keep those people it's trained. 
As a result, the only way to ensure better care and prevent future losses of veterans is to get us out of this war that has ground down our numbers for the past 6 years or institute the draft again and bring in new people to replace those we've lost.  Freedom is not free, we can't expect the wounded to rise from their hospital beds and go back to war but that is what's happening.
Your organization was good and your stance was fairly clear but again it's hard to galvanize people to make a change if you don't give them an option of how that might be done.
