I should've just posted that info in an easily visible title a few days ago.

With another link: https://www.vetcenter.va.gov/

"While Dial 988 then Press 1 is a new option for contacting the Veterans Crisis Line,
the original number: 1-800-273-8255 and press 1, remains available,
and Veterans can continue to reach out via chat at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat
or by text to 838255."


Inconsiderate "patriots" have been blowing up neighborhoods before & after holidays, they don't do enough damage on the day itself.

Yeah, the fireworks can trigger trauma and PTSD among veterans.

I personally feel July 4th fireworks should be replaced by drone displays in the sky.

Seriously! China used dozens of drones to make an actual chinese dragon flying in the sky! It was marvelous!

That would be a great solution! Thanks, I didn't hear about that, and hope it catches on! 😀
