Awareness is so important, as you mentioned earlier.
And it's like if the tree fell and you didn't see it, did the tree really fall? Well, if you live in that forest, it did.
And I think that's what we're bringing.
Even what I've just learned from Leah about the eating disorder and the connection to me.
I didn't know that the eating disorder and suicide.
And Josh is about you're part of the resource about the battle, the battle buddy resource.
And even with Sean talking about the military and the police.
The first thing is that the awareness piece, it should not happen when you come out of the military.
It should happen before you leave the military.
Because most of that stuff happens while you're in the military.
I'm more responsible for taking care of my soldiers than myself.
Don't worry about me, worry about this guy.
right or the eating disorder guess who started eating disorder the military because every time you're being weighed and weighed and looked at by you you set up images of yourself when you're getting when you are going for promotion it's it is the creator of eating disorder okay so my point is that we got to start being more aware of the stuff that we do in the military actually keeps stays with us When we lead the military, and I want to bring in the things that Veterans Council Veterans, we have a program, it's called Under the Serve.
The elderly rate of suicide is constantly increasing.
And if you look at most of the stuff, even with the influencer, we still focus on the young people.
Elderly don't matter.
Well, I always say, how you're treating your parents is how our kids gonna start treating us we got to start stop being lip service and saying thank you for your service and say what are we doing to support you the elderly is number one number two families families families strength in the family strength in the veteran if you have ptsd they got ptsd if you have mst they have mst we got to start including the family of awareness and then finally the reservists the reservists they die by suicide but they don't have the same kind of service that we have We gotta start being more aware and fill that gap.
Fill that gap like we all do.
Those three things that I think that we have to be aware that there are people out there who are dying by suicide that don't fit what you see on the TV on the mantra.
They're not all combat people dying by suicide.
The awareness piece starts with your local community and the first person that I will go to first is the family.
They're the first.
