🇺🇸 **SEPTEMBER — VETERAN SU***DE PREVENTION & AWARENESS MONTH** 🇺🇸

Throughout September, the **Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Alabama** joins veterans, families, communities, and organizations across our state in raising awareness about veteran su***de and reminding every veteran of one important truth:

**YOU ARE NOT ALONE.**

Behind every statistic is a person — a veteran, a battle buddy, a spouse, a parent, a son, a daughter, or a friend.

Sometimes the veteran who needs help isn't the one asking for it.

That's why this month is also a reminder to all of us: **make the call. Send the text. Knock on the door. Check on your battle buddy.**

Ask the simple question:

**“How are you doing?”**

And then take the time to listen.

For those of us in the VFW, our responsibility to one another doesn't end when the deployment ends, the uniform comes off, or military service is over. **No veteran should have to fight their battles alone.**

Throughout September, we encourage every VFW Post and every member across Alabama to reach out to fellow veterans — especially those we haven't heard from in a while.

A five-minute conversation may mean more than you will ever know.

🎗️ **If you or a veteran you know is in crisis, help is available 24/7.**

📞 **Dial 988, then Press 1**
📱 **Text 838255**
💻 Veterans Crisis Line online chat is also available.

You do **not** have to be enrolled in VA benefits or VA health care to connect with the Veterans Crisis Line.

**Veterans helping veterans. Comrades looking after comrades.**

This September — and every month — **check on your battle buddies.**

🇺🇸 **Veterans of Foreign Wars — Department of Alabama**
