‘Be The One’ is a national campaign to help lower the suicide rate among veterans. There is great hope that our Legion Family members will “Be the One” to Save a Veteran.


The American Legion wants to change the narrative. Instead of talking about the staggering number of daily suicides, we’re asking you to Be The One to save one veteran. We can end the stigma surrounding mental health with your help. Learn more at BeTheOne.org

Are you a veteran in crisis or concerned about one?
