About 22 A Day
ABOUT “22 A DAY” #22aday is a program set in place to raise
awareness to the ever increasing suicide rate within our veteran community in
the United States. Everyday, 22 veterans lose their battle to post traumatic
stress, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts on American soil. That
is 1 veterans every 65 minutes.
The rates for the active duty individual
services members per 100,000 people according to the report, were 23 for the
Army, 23.1 for the Marine Corps, 14.4 for the Air Force and 13.4 for the Navy.
The Veteran Administration statistics confirm 22 Veterans a day
are succumbing to suicide on American soil. The total number of those
losing their battle grows larger with each day research and treatments are not
able to be done
About Dalton, I am a 26 year old United States Army
veteran that was medically retired after 5 years due to severe lower back
issues. While on active duty status I battled severe depress, anxiety, and even
took an attempt on my own life. Ive lost 3 close friends to suicide and I don’t
want to see it happen to anyone else. Im making it my personal mission to
spread awareness so we can support our active duty military, reserve, nation
guard, and veterans on and off the battle field. With that said, 10% of every
purchase of #22aday apparel will go to foundations that support mental health
research and treatment for current and prior military members.
