September is Su***de Awareness Month.

Everyday, HOOAH WI serves veterans, active-duty military and their support systems to eliminate su***de.

Use this month as a reminder to stand for all in the fight against su***de. Reach out to your friends and family to offer support. Be kind to everyone around you.

Your life matters. We are here, we care, and we will not stop until every warrior knows there is hope.

Salute those.

On Purple Heart Day, we honor the over 1.9 million members of the military who have been wounded or killed in action while defending our nation.

First awarded in 1932, the Purple Heart is presented to those who are injured in the line of duty or have made the ultimate sacrifice as a result of hostile action.

The bravery and sacrifices of our wounded and fallen heroes are not forgotten. Semper Fidelis.

Sometimes we need someone to simply be there.

… even these heroes know that 🤎

Very happy to see this turnout last weekend! What a deserving group & great day to be out on the water. 🇺🇸

So glad some of you took up the invite on this!

Take the time.

Take this moment to step outside. Press your feet firmly to the ground. Take 5 rounds of breath. Bring your awareness to each inhale and exhale. Stretch and twist from one side to the other. Be still. Listen to the sounds around you. You are present. You are alive. You are grounded. You are loved. You are whole. You are ready for all that will be today. Shine.

Have a wonderful week!
