September is Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month.
At VFW Post 8866, we are taking part in the 22 A Day Campaign to honor those we have lost and help bring awareness to the devastating impact of su***de, particularly among our veterans.
We invite our members, families, friends, and community to join us in doing something that equals 22.
22 laps. 22 miles. 22 push-ups. 22 planks. 22 minutes of movement.
Whatever you choose, let it be a reminder that awareness matters, conversations matter, and reaching out matters.
Our veterans have given so much in service to our country. We must continue to show up for them, not just in September, but every day.
And this is bigger than the veteran community. Everyone’s life matters. Everyone deserves help, support, and the opportunity to know they are not alone.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Veterans can also press 1.
Let’s honor those we have lost by helping those who are still here.
22 A Day. Let’s keep the conversation going.
