Raise the Flag for Awareness
Tuesday, September 5

Show your support for community veterans by making sure you display your American flag! Let those who have fought for our freedoms know that you support them. Together, we can raise awareness for all who have been affected by suicide, including the brave men and women who served our country. Let’s show them that they’re not alone and help is available.
