Nearly 20 veterans die from suicide every day.

Now there's a new plan to keep them safe, that would work like an Amber Alert, but would just be for military veterans.

Senators recently introduced Green Alert legislation that would issue public alerts for veterans who might be in distress or missing.

Iowa and Wisconsin already have such a system.

The bill would establish a national notification system.

A Senate committee could debate the bill soon.
