Remembering the 22

Watching football today, I saw a piece on this project and wanted to share it here. The statistic that 22 vets kill themselves a day absolutely struck me. That's over 7,000 a year. Here's the link:

I'm not a vet myself, but I have nothing but respect for these people who put themselves in harm's way to make us safer. Regardless of politics, I believe these people to be heroes.

That's horrible to hear. It shows that they're not getting the support that they really need. Maybe we could make a hash tag to show support to veterans, then any veterans here or people who know any, will feel welcomed and like there is support out there.

@SilentSerenityy i like that idea. hopefully they already feel welcome, but i'd love to try and support and empathize with their struggled.
