Outreach
Uncle Sam's Outreach to All Veterans and their Families
Thank You to our Sponsors and supporters of The RumbleQuake III and Memorial Tribute Display. We now ask you and your network of friends and associates to honor them through the use of their products and services.
Why the Outreach:Every 65 minutes a veteran commits suicide. Every day, 22 veterans take their own lives. More than 69% of all veteran suicides were among those 50 and older.
Because: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Churches, Veteran and Civic organizations(AL's, VFW's, VVA's etc..) we are asking for your help. We ask you to put your member veterans on your van and invite non-member veterans to ride along in The RumbleQuake III scheduled for Saturday, Nov 8th, 2014 . They may be on your van Saturday and possibly a new guest on Sunday or your next meeting. ? A new member?
OHHM.org has also agreed to participate in the "THANK YOU FESTIVAL"- A Celebration Honoring Our Veterans-scheduled Sept. 20th, 2014- at the Iredell County Fairgrounds. We will provide a Memorial Tribute for The Iredell 11 County Region (Iredell, Alexander, Cabarrus, Catawba, Davie, Rowan, Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln, Wilkes and Yadkin counties). This display will have photos of some War Casualties from Iredell County including all Vietnam casualties from these 11 counties. With the maps -You can Connect the Dots...Names, Faces and Places.
