Be The OneThe American Legion is leading a nationwide effort — Be the One— to eliminate the stigma related to mental health treatment, and in turn, lower the number of veterans who die by suicide every day. Estimates show 22 veterans are lost to suicide daily.
The American Legion has elevated Be the One to be its primary mission, empowering veterans, servicemembers, their family members and civilians to act appropriately when a veteran may be at risk. |
