2/3 We are asking you to take the pledge to #GoSilent from your regularly scheduled social content posting on May 31st and instead use your platforms to uplift the names, achievements, and lives of our fallen heroes. We want to hear and commemorate your stories...⬇️
3/3 Also on #MemorialDay, at 3:00pm Local Time, #IAVA will hold a minute of silence to remember the lives & legacies of our fallen servicemembers.
“For nearly a decade, #IAVA & the veteran community has called for immediate action by our nation’s leaders to appropriately respond to the crisis of over 20 military & veterans dying every day by suicide.” @JeremyButler01
“In our latest Member Survey, a stunning 65% of #IAVA members reported service-connected PTSD & over half report anxiety (65%) or depression (56%). Additionally, 65% of IAVA members know a post-9/11 veteran who attempted suicide.” @JeremyButler01
