BE THE ONE
Be the One is The American Legion’s top priority, a mission to reduce the number of veterans and servicemembers who die by suicide. It involves everyone throughout the entire American Legion Family. Post members are able to support Be the One by conducting Buddy Checks, raising awareness of resources for veterans in their communities, taking the Columbia University training so they know what to do in a potential time of crisis and more.
If you or a loved one are having problems and are in need of emotional support and guidance, don't hesitate to contact the Veterans Crisis Lifeline
