We Are The 22 would love to invite everyone out to the 2026 Whiskey Ridge Ranch Chuckwagon Races & Western Event! This is going to be an outstanding event filled with western action, great music, family fun, fellowship, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Bring the whole family and come enjoy an incredible atmosphere with amazing people and a community coming together for a great cause. 🇺🇸
💥 We especially want to thank Whiskey Ridge Ranch for choosing to support We Are The 22 during their Wednesday night benefit event at 6 PM. Their willingness to help us continue our mission means more than words can express. Because of support like this, we are able to continue showing up for veterans in crisis and reminding them they are never alone.

It takes all of us working together to continue fighting so the words “Veteran” and “Su***de” are no longer in the same sentence.

🇺🇸 RESPONDER OF THE MONTH – RICHARD DeBILL 🇺🇸
At We Are The 22, we are proud to recognize Richard DeBill as our Responder of the Month — a man who truly embodies what it means to serve with purpose.

From serving our country as a Military Police Officer in the U.S. Army, to continuing his mission right here in Arkansas, Richard has dedicated his life to protecting others. His journey has taken him from South Korea and Fort Drum to building a life rooted in service and community in Arkansas.

Today, Richard serves as a K9 Lieutenant with the Redfield Police Department, working alongside his loyal partner, Bo, a Belgian Malinois. But his service doesn’t stop there — he is also the Assistant Fire Chief of the Redfield Volunteer Fire Department, Vice President of the Jefferson County Mutual Aid Association, and actively involved in multiple organizations that strengthen his community.

Richard is a leader, a protector, and a brother in this fight.

When asked why he joined We Are The 22, he said:
💬 “Seeing fellow vets losing their lives and the rippling effects of both lack of resources and the stigma of mental illness, I wanted to help my fellow brothers and sisters find the light in the dark tunnel.”

That right there is the mission. That’s the heart behind what we do.

We are honored to have Richard as the Region 2 Captain and a vital part of this team. His commitment, leadership, and passion for helping others does not go unnoticed.

👏 Please help us congratulate Richard DeBill and show him some love!

🚨 THIS IS HAPPENING IN OUR BACKYARD 🇺🇸
Veterans are still 1.5 times more likely to die by su***de than civilians
Right here in Arkansas, we continue to rank among the highest in the nation for su***de rates — and in some counties, veteran su***de rates have reached over 100 per 100,000.

Let that sink in.

This isn’t just numbers.
This is our brothers.
Our sisters.
Our community.

At We Are The 22, we are on the front lines every single day — showing up, answering the call, and fighting for those who feel like they have no one left.

💥 Because one conversation can save a life
💥 One response can change a future
💥 One person stepping up can make all the difference

We will continue this fight until the words “Veteran” and “Su***de” are no longer in the same sentence.

If you or someone you know is struggling — REACH OUT.
