THE FIGHT TO STOP VETERAN SUICIDE

22 U.S. Veterans are committing suicide every day. And that’s just the official number. We believe the number is 24-25 Veterans a day. That's more than 9,000 former service members each year lost to suicide.

The National Veterans Foundation is dedicated to eliminating Veteran suicides through vet-to-vet crisis counseling and other assistance to successfully reintegrate back to civilian life.
