Flags for Suicide Awareness

Secretary of Veteran Affairs

Each flag that we place into the ground represents a veteran who was once standing here
like you and me but is no longer with us.

 Think about that before you go to sleep at night.

17 veterans each day will no longer be with us, not per year, not per month, but per day.  

Our role is to try to change that. We would like to think we are doing just that.

The History Behind Flags for Forgotten Solders

Dave Brown was a member of our Council and his wife Lynn is the sister of Howard Berry (deceased). 

Howard’s son Josh Berry committed suicide in 2013. Josh is Lynn’s nephew.

Our Director, John DeMarco still communicates with them after each install.

Lynn’s son, Jeff , posts all my installs on
Flags For Forgotten Soldiers Face Book page.
