History of #22KILL:

Honor Courage Commitment, Inc. started the #22KILL movement in 2013 after learning about the staggering statistic that an average of 22 veterans are killed by suicide every day (VA 2012). HCC is committed to researching and understanding the genesis of this epidemic, and educating #22KILL’s Veteran Advocates on the issue. We understand that this statistic may not be completely accurate, but in the end even one suicide is one too many. HCC uses #22KILL as a platform to raise awareness not just towards veteran suicide, but also all of the issues that veterans face that can ultimately lead them to suicide; these issues include mental health, unemployment, and the challenges of transitioning out of the military. The solution here is to empower our veterans. #22KILL supports not only HCC’s veteran empowerment programs, but also other nonprofit organizations, and community events and projects.
