For Buddy Check Week, Face the Fight encourages Veterans and supporters to reach out, reconnect and remind the people in their lives that they're not alone.
Thomas turned to Support the Enlisted Project for financial help and found connection, support and a plan to stay grounded when stress feels overwhelming.
Starbucks and Face the Fight are teaming up this year during VA's Buddy Check Week to raise awareness and prevent Veteran suicide.
Face the Fight is an initiative working to break the stigma surrounding suicide in the military community by raising awareness and fostering open conversations about support and hope.
