On Wednesday, November 17, the National Security Subcommittee of the House Oversight and Reform Committee held a hearing titled “Invisible Wounds: Preventing Suicide in Our Nation’s Military and Veteran Communities” to examine how the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and community organizations, like Boot Campaign,
are working to strengthen mental health and curb the alarming rate of suicides among our nation’s military
servicemembers and veterans.

of fellow servicemembers and friends to suicide
and to share how Boot Campaign is supporting veterans
with invisible wounds.
