September is National Suicide Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness and take action. Alarming statistics show that military members are at a higher risk, with approximately 17 veterans taking their lives each day.

Veterans Equine Therapeutic Services helps to provide the military and veteran community with therapeutic programming in order to enhance their quality of life.

Remembering August 14: A Day of Historic Significance 🇺🇸🌏 On this day, we commemorate two pivotal moments in history. Firstly, on August 14, 1945, the world rejoiced as the end of World War II with Japan was officially announced. This momentous occasion marked the beginning of peace after years of global conflict, bringing hope and relief to millions. Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of all who served and those who supported the war effort from the home front. Secondly, we celebrate National Navajo Code Talkers Day, paying tribute to the extraordinary Navajo Code Talkers who played a crucial role in securing victory during World War II. Using their unique language to develop an unbreakable code, these brave individuals were instrumental in ensuring the success of countless military operations. Their legacy is a testament to the power of cultural heritage and innovation in the face of adversity. Let’s take a moment to reflect on these significant events and express our gratitude for the courage and contributions of those who made history on this day. #WWIIVictory #NavajoCodeTalkers #HeroesAmongUs #EndOfWar #LegacyOfBravery #vetsct #remember #honor #nonprofit #giveback #community
