Mark your calendars – Invite your Friends & Family …
Annual Motorcycle Memorial Ride benefiting charities that support Our Wounded & their families:
**** Please Note: If you do NOT have a Motorcycle – you may still participate in the actual ride if you wish w/your Car or Truck .. There will be someone there to put you in place behind the bikes & it will be escorted – YOU must let someone know either @ the ride or PM me *****
This yr we will be focusing on PTSD / Suicide Prevention ..
We need to bring more Awareness & DAMN IT !!!
HELP FIND A SOLUTION !!!
22 VETS A DAY TAKE THEIR LIVES !! LET THAT SINK IN !!!!
22 A DAY !!
How is it that these Heroic Men & Women can go to far away lands – into a War – Defend OUR FREEDOM – Then finally make it back home – just to turn around & feel more Helpless / Scared / Confused & Hopeless then they did while they were away ?
How is it that with ALL they have already been through to be able to come back home ALIVE & SAFE – Their inner Demons can make them think that NOT Breathing is some how better than waking up the next day to see the sun light ??
IT HAS TO STOP !!!
We can’t just sit back while we continue to loose more & more of OUR Military Family in this way…
SOME HOW – SOME WAY – WE NEED to make people know that Suicide is NOT the ANSWER !!! There is NO REDO – NO 2nd Chance … ITS PERMANENT !!
It leaves heartache & Pain for those left behind. that some will May NEVER get over – It takes away future Memories that will Never be & It leaves the GUILT of unanswered questions that those left behind will NEVER know..
SUICIDE is NOT the ANSWER !!
Davey’s Battle Brothers & EVERYONE participating want you to know :
WE are LISTENING – YOU are LOVED
& YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!!
That is the message – That is OUR GOAL …
