Mental Health AwarenessApproximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness in a given year.

Suicide Awareness and PreventionThe Department of Defense reported 7,000 service members who took their own lives in one year alone. This is one of the leading causes of death for active duty service members, higher than those lost by all hostile activity combined. Not only is this a tragedy for the military, but for the nation; this is a growing national crisis. Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings are dedicated to raising awareness and providing support to our brothers and sisters in arms, and the millions of Americans who are affected by suicide.
