"EAST BRUNSWICK — Rep. Rush Holt (D-12th District) is renewing efforts to pass a bill intended to strengthen treatment resources for returning soldiers.

"His reintroduction of the measure, which was suddenly removed from the federal Defense Authorization Act of 2011 in December, was bolstered by a Jan. 19 announcement from the U.S. Army that suicide rates among National Guard and Reserve veterans had increased significantly."
