The North Florida/South Georgia Department of Veterans Affairs in conjunction with the Northeast Florida Fire Watch Council and the Cohen Veterans Network at Centerstone cordially invite you to attend the First annual: Pledge to Prevent: A Community Call to Action to End Veteran Suicide

More than 6,000 U.S. veterans die by suicide each year. The highest rate of veteran suicide is in the age group 18 to 34. That is also the largest demographic separating from active duty every year. We have over 150,000 veterans in NE Florida. They are family, friends, co-workers and neighbors who have risked their lives to protect our community. The least our community can do is work together to protect them.
  • Guest speaking will be award winning author and filmmaker Kevin Hines.
  • Masks will be required and the venue allows for social distancing.
  • Please RSVP by August 25, 2020 to Katherine Eicher, 904-718-0459 or Katherine.Eicher@va.gov.
