In Canyon County, Idaho, Melissa Volkers and her friends have created a poignant memorial for military heroes who died by suicide. The Tanners Snowflake Project features five hundred snowflakes, each bearing the name of a fallen hero. This tribute was inspired by Melissas personal loss, her son Tanner, a staff sergeant in the Air Force who took his own life in 2013. Melissa channels her grief into action, raising awareness for military suicide and supporting gold star families. She emphasizes the importance of kindness, especially on December seventh, in honor of Tanner and all those lost to suicide.
