A call to support Aiming for Zero, which addresses veteran and military-family suicide. About 18 to 20 veterans die by suicide each day. The ask: raise money, talk to at-risk veterans and their families, and start conversations that could save lives.
That means all the money that we're raising here today is going to go directly to Aiming for Zero. There's no cost for us. It's addressing a huge problem in our society, which is veteran military family suicide and PTSD, stress disorder. You hear numbers, it's 20, it's 18 per day, per week. I don't care. If it's one, it's one too many. I would love for all of you to go out and raise awareness about this issue and encourage people to get involved. If they see a veteran or military family member that thinks they're in duress. Ask them questions, get to know what's going on. Just having a conversation with somebody could save their life, could make a difference.
