The Bear Hug is a campaign Honoring our United States Military service members, past & present. Approximately 17 U.S. veterans die by suicide every day—a rate that is about 1.5 times that of nonveterans. This is according to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 2019 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report. Showing love & building community with those who served is absolutely essential in helping solve this epidemic. Please join Louisiana Sister Squad Podcast & Hug an American Veteran on this mission to bring awareness. It's absolutely free. #vetshug You may submit any photo showing love to our United States Military as well as Memorial photos to honor all who served.
