FINAL GRAND TOTAL $17,040 !!
You all are so incredible!! I appreciate all of you so much. Wow. Just WOW, I’m floored.
As I’m preparing for this fundraiser I find it incredibly fortuitous that this is beginning just a few days after 9/11. The event that rocked the US and began many, many years of military involvement overseas and our loved ones being sent to fight the war on terrorism.
Post-war trauma is not new to our country and with 4 times as many suicides coming after 9/11, some say this single event has changed the face of how we view post-war with our loved ones.
While Veteran Suicide rates have decreased in some years, 2021 saw 4.6% more suicides according to the Department of Defense CYSR 2021 (calendar year suicide report).
This is why we’re here – to contribute to a cause that seeks to aid those vets facing challenges while on active duty or after active duty in order to move the needle in the right direction.
