Flags For Forgotten Soldiers Raises Awareness On Veteran Suicide
INDIANAPOLIS — A moving display went up on the southside today with 660 American flags.
These represent the 660 veterans’ lives lost every month to suicide.
Flags for Forgotten Soldiers is a grassroots effort to bring awareness to veteran suicide.
A husband and wife started it when their own son died by suicide after he couldn’t get help following the Fort Hood shooting.
They hope to change veterans’ health care and better treat veterans with PTSD.
They put up flags in 25 states.
This display is at a home on Morgantown Road just south of the Glenns Valley Nature Park.
22 veterans die by suicide every day in our country.
That crisis for men and women who serve is what’s behind this mission.
