Each day 22 Veterans lose their lives to suicide.  The Military Friends 22-for-22 campaign pledges to engage military families, students and community members in 22 events in the next year to combat the growing epidemic of suicide.  This campaign is founded in conjunction with families impacted by suicide, members of the Massachusetts National Guard, and mental health advocates and service providers.
