This morning, members of the Flying Ears participated in the Be the One Walk, sponsored by Dekalb American Legion Post 66. This is an annual event bringing awareness to the fact that an estimated TWENTY-TWO veterans or service members take their lives each day. The walk is 2.2 miles and 22 stones are carried during the walk, both signifying the 22 lives lost each day. It was a rainy day and a somber event, but it is important to destigmatize mental health support and introduce the different resources available to those who may be struggling.
