SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH
SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH
There is an average of 123 suicides each day in this country.
It is the 10th leading cause of death in America. Of those 123 suicides, 30 of those are U.S. military veterans.
To create awareness of this, Tellico Village VFW Post 12135 has set up a memorial in front of the Tellico Village Yacht Club. The display has 100 flags with each flag representing six veterans who will take their own lives this month. During September, please participate in the fight by getting involved with local organizations and listening to those who need help.
