Vietnam Veteran and volunteer host Tom Lyons shares these stories which are carried on 65 broadcasting stations throughout the state of Minnesota in an effort to preserve the stories of our Veterans and keep listeners up to date on things happening at MDVA and in our Veteran Community here in Minnesota.
Coming up this week we meet with MDVA's Legislative Director, hear from the new Commander of the DAV of MN and get an update from the Minneapolis VA Health Care System Director.?

Minnesota lawmakers passed legislation in May to provide ongoing funding for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The legislation establishes a new telecommunication fee on phone lines to support the 988 Lifeline infrastructure in Minnesota. The telecommunication fee will not go into effect until January 1, 2024.
988 chat and text services have been expanded in Minnesota. Two Minnesota Lifeline Centers have begun answering chats and texts routed from Minnesota area codes and zip codes. This means people connecting to the 988 Lifeline from Minnesota area codes and zip codes will receive more localized resources and support.
If you or someone you know are experiencing a suicide, mental health, or substance use crisis or experience any other type of emotional distress and need someone to talk to, you can call or text 988 or chat online at 988lifeline.org.
