September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and a new campaign is helping shed light on a number of veterans who die by suicide.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -
“The sad fact is that, in Alabama, about every 2.4 days, a veteran takes their own life,” said Commissioner Kent Davis, Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs. “Suicide prevention is never an easy subject or an enjoyable conversation, but we hope this visual display will show the reality of how many Veterans have those invisible wounds and help create impactful, long-term change.”
152 American flags can be seen at Montgomery's Riverwalk Stadium as part of a new campaign to raise awareness for veteran suicides.
