You may be a current military member, a veteran, or a civilian. But you have someone in your life right now that you want to help. Peripherally, this book is also for every legislator that has the power to introduce bills that will strengthen the mental fiber of our nation for our veterans and the one million other Americans that attempt suicide each year.
