Homefix Custom Remodeling Supports Our Veterans
On a Mission to Reduce PTSD Induced Suicides
Platoon 22 is a traveling memorial started by the non-profit 22 Needs A Face. The boots in the Platoon 22 memorial symbolize the 22 lives lost per day, 682 lives lost per month, and over 8,000 veteran lives lost each year to suicide attributed to PTSD.
Their objectives are:
- Raise awareness of the epidemic across the United States
- Offer free and fun events to bring the veteran community together to strengthen the sense of community and camaraderie that they have lost in transition
- Raise capital to help support severely underfunded and undermanned crisis call centers to make sure someone answers their call for help.
- Advocate for legislative and VA policy changes that will ensure a mental health professional sees every veteran as part of the military out-processing and VA enrollment procedures.
