Medal of Honor - Speak Out and Save Lives

More than 30 of the 90 living Medal of Honor recipients from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps have joined in a public service campaign designed to help stem the rising tide of suicides among military service members today.  These men are encouraging our Combat Veterans and Military personnel to seek help to stay strong for their families and themselves.

These recipients, who have survived some of the most harrowing experiences in combat, including years as POWs, physical wounds and emotional trauma, felt compelled to speak out to America's military, share their experiences and encourage them to seek help for behavioral health issues that are often a result of deployment and combat.  Their message is simple:  Don't let the enemy defeat you at home!

In their own words, Medal of Honor recipients encourage America’s military by reminding them that seeking care is indeed a courageous act. One that shows they recognize the need to stay strong in mind and body.


                             Medal of Honor Speak Out


Take Care of your fellow Marines - If you know a sailor or Marine who needs help - don't wait!  Do it for them, their family, our country and our Corps.
