There is no national recognition for families who have lost a Veteran to su***de. We are working to change that.

The Green Star Service Banner would provide long-overdue recognition for these families—ensuring they are seen, honored, and never forgotten.

But we need your voice.
👉 Contact your Member of Congress and ask them to support H.R. 6022
👉 Share this post to help us reach more people

It only takes a minute—but it can help bring recognition to thousands of families.

Because no family should be invisible.

Today and everyday, honor the service and sacrifice of Vietnam War Veterans by thanking them for their service, shaking their hand, and sharing with them "Welcome home."

Every su***de touches far more lives than we often realize. 💜

Research from the University of Kentucky shows that up to 135 people are affected to some degree by each person lost to su***de. This includes family, friends, coworkers, and communities.

Connection, support, and compassion matter. Let’s hold space for one another.

🚨 Action Alert

The Major Richard Star Act would allow combat-disabled retirees to receive both their full retired pay and their VA disability compensation.

For thousands of families, that would mean stability instead of lifelong financial strain. When service creates the burden, our nation has a responsibility to fix it.

Tell Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act. Take action here 👉 https://votervoice.net/VFW/Campaigns/132821/Respond
