September is Su***de Prevention Month. Data has revealed that on average, approximately 22 veterans a day commit su***de. It’s a national crisis, and one that we need to do more to fight.

Some research has shown that the military and veteran su***de rate is 50 percent higher than that of civilians, which is as sad as it is alarming. But there is something I can do, and there is something you can do to help save the lives of these veterans.

There are many reasons that veterans in particular feel like there’s no way out of a difficult time – whether it’s PTSD, survivor’s guilt, financial strain, family problems, or a combination of these – so many factors come into play. But it’s up to all of us to help them realize that help is available!

🇺🇸 STOP SCROLLING. TAKE 10 SECONDS. REMEMBER A HERO. 🇺🇸

Some names are written in history.

Others are written forever in the hearts of the families who loved them.

Today, we ask America to do something simple:

SHARE THIS POST. 🇺🇸

Not for us.

For the men and women who gave everything.
For the mothers and fathers who still miss their child.
For the spouses who had to keep going.
For the children who grew up without a parent.
For the families who carry their loved one’s sacrifice every single day.

A Gold Star Family is a family forever changed by the loss of a loved one who died while serving our country.

Their sacrifice did not end on the day their loved one fell.

And our promise to remember them should never end either.

🇺🇸 OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE:
Honor. Hope. Healing.

If you believe America should NEVER forget the fallen or the families they left behind, help us reach 100,000 shares.

👇 SHARE THIS POST.
🇺🇸 Tag someone who believes in honoring our military families.
❤️ Leave a 🇺🇸 in the comments to show your support.

One share can reach someone who has never heard the words Gold Star Family.

Let’s change that.

100,000 shares. 100,000 acts of remembrance.

🇺🇸 WE REMEMBER. WE HONOR. WE NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

— America’s Gold Star Families
