Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over ten times the number of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is considering harming themselves, call 988 and get help.

The Buddy Poppy Program has helped the Veterans of Foreign Wars live up to its motto, “to honor the dead by helping the living.” In August 1922, they adopted the poppy as the official memorial flower of the VFW.

There is a new cartoon everyday.
