This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week.

The American Legion Auxiliary Department of California recognizes the importance of mental health awareness, compassion, and support for veterans, military families, caregivers, and communities.

Mental health challenges are not always visible, but support can make a difference. Let us continue to encourage understanding, reduce stigma, and remind others that no one has to face difficult days alone.

For veterans in crisis, dial 988, then Press 1.

🇺🇸 In Service, Not Self.

Today marks Gold Star Mothers and Families Day, a solemn national observance honoring mothers, parents and relatives of service members who died while serving.
Congress formally designated the last Sunday in September as Gold Star Mother’s Day in 1936, and presidential proclamations since have broadly recognized the community of Gold Star families.
For many families, the day a this year’s events offer both reflection and a rare opportunity for connection.

Can anyone help?

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY: IMMEDIATE VETERAN NEED. 💙 Diakonia’s Veteran Services team (SSVF) is looking for TWO side-by-side washer and dryer sets, new or gently used, for Veterans currently in need.

Have a set you’re replacing? Know a business, property owner, appliance company, or community member who may be able to help? We need you!

These aren't extras. These are everyday essentials that can make a tremendous difference for a Veteran working toward long-term housing stability.

To donate or coordinate an appliance donation, contact Stephanie Hellman at 410-213-0923 or [email protected]

Two Veterans. Two sets. Let's get it done. 💙

See A Need. Fill A Need. Share Some Hope.

Today we celebrate the birth of this 107 year old organization and all the work they do to help and support our Veterans.

”…The American Legion remains today an active and vigorous advocate for servicemembers, veterans, and their families here on Capitol Hill.”⁠

In recognition of The American Legion's 90th birthday in 2009, the Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution designating Sept. 16 as .

⁠The measure was shepherded through the Senate by then-Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, who praised the Legion for its continued aid to wounded veterans and military families, legacy of community volunteerism and significant role in establishing important national legislation.
