September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide We in the Armed Forces are affected by suicide far more than the average group. With the "22 A Day" movement, the Veterans Administration confirms that 22 Veterans a day are succumbing to suicide here at home. This month is very personal to me and throughout each day, you'll hear some of the stories behind why. With the suicides that have occurred in my family, amongst my friends, and my attempt, you are going to learn about me but throughout the entire month, I hope you understand the true reason why I wanted to do this, remind you that there is help for you. There is nothing we can't work through. There is pain in this world and we will experience an unfair amount due to the nature we operate in. You have agreed to do a job few have taken up and we owe you the resources to ensure that the job doesn't take too much from you. When you feel like you or a friend needs help, reach out. Reach out to the multitude of resources we have. You are already amazing Airmen, but this month, we need to work on being amazing humans for those that need our help. Thank you for going on this journey with me.
