A call to action on Memorial Day
On Memorial Day, we remember and honor our fallen service members.
Memorial Day isn’t about characters from stories or only those long past. It’s about humans; deep, complex, vibrant humans that gave their lives in service to our nation. Their lives were precious, and their memory is precious to the people that love them and carry their legacy every second of every day.
As you reflect on Memorial Day, please take a few moments to learn more about the following organizations, save the Veteran Crisis Hotline as a contact in your phone for quick access if needed, and consider a donation to the organizations helping to care for the families of those lost.
Veteran Crisis Hotline
The Veterans Crisis Line links Veterans to people trained to help through any challenge. No matter when, where, or how they served. No matter their discharge status. No matter what they’re experiencing. The Veterans Crisis Line is for all Veterans.
