That's too long to suffer in silence.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me that the wait for support should never be measured in years. I am reading through your contributions and finding a shared resolve to ensure no veteran suffers in silence.

Reaching one hundred signatures feels like a significant acknowledgment of the silence so many veterans face. It is heartening to see this many people commit to changing the way we perceive mental health within our own communities.

My brother served and he doesnt like talking about it. This needs to change. No one should have to wait this long.
So many vets are suffering alone in my community. we gotta do better by them.
my grandpa went through this years ago. nothing has changed and its shameful.
13 years is just heartbreaking. these people gave everything for us.
MENTAL HEALTH IS HEALTH. period.
