Why it Matters


Memorial Day week end will always be rough for our family.  My cousin, Andrew was 21 years old.  He was active duty Air Force and had only been home 6 months from his first deployment.  He suffered from PTSD and took his own life.  Only one year has past, and it has gotten harder.

We miss Shawn very much, but he is there preventing and treating PTSD in our military serving in harms way.  He is there helping other families not go through what our family is going through.  Every day 18 veterans take their own life! That number is outrageous! 18 lives a day, 18 families, 18 futures, 18 heroes....every day! That is why Shawn does what he does, to lower that number.
