Memorial Day 2018

While for many Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, it is first and foremost a day to honor the men and women who have died while serving our country in the armed forces.  But what about the veterans who have returned from deployment and face dealing with the trauma experienced in combat? According to a 2016 VA report, an average of 20 veterans die by suicide EVERY DAY. Organizations like @thesoldiersproject are working to reduce stigma and propogate mental health resources within the military community. For ways you can help “heal the hidden wounds of war”, head over to their website, and don’t forget to give them a follow on their social media pages, because spreading awareness can be as simple as a click. #memorialday #mentalhealthawareness #veteransuicideawareness #stopthestigma
