This resolution expresses strong support for establishing September 22 as "National Military and Veterans Suicide Awareness Day." It acknowledges the profound sacrifices made by members of the United States Armed Forces and veterans, emphasizing that their mental health and well-being are crucial for their overall readiness and ability to lead fulfilling lives. The resolution highlights the alarming rate of suicide within these populations, often stemming from persistent challenges such as post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety.
