Mission Statement
THE PROBLEMEvery day 22+ Veterans and 1 Active Duty Soldier take their own lives. Burdened with the stigma associated with mental health issues and the military "shame" surrounding PTS (Post Traumatic Stress), they instead turn to suicide as their only option to relieve suffering. OUR SOLUTIONWe’re Veterans who understand the military mindset and training. That understanding, coupled with raising awareness of the issues and implementing a triage approach to help, is how we do the work of bringing fellow Veterans and Soldiers back from the edge. We’re here for our brothers and sisters in arms in their greatest hour of need. WHERE YOU FIT INWe face a tidal wave of military suicides as more and more servicemen and women come home. Can you help us by volunteering? Are you with an organization that could partner with us? Can you be a financial resource and donate money or become a corporate sponsor? Please reach out and join us.
