Military/veteran suicide is thought to affect 22 people a day in the US. I'd argue it's at least double.

Aaron discusses loses his wife JJ while on active duty and finding love and his tribe again. To learn more about the Travis Manion Foundation and opportunities near you, click here... Volunteer
