Did You Know That:
- 18 veteran suicides happen daily in the US?
- 154 active duty personnel died by suicide--one per day--in the first 155 days of 2012?
You are invited to attend CrisisLink's 2012 Fall Forum dedicated to honoring those that have served in the United States Military. In the DC area alone there are 267,000 retired and 61,000 active duty military personnel who we count as friends, neighbors and colleagues. We need to insure that their fight for our freedom does not leave them unable to pursue their own life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. These men and women are experiencing a growing crisis and CrisisLink is part of the solution.
