Flags for Vets was formed on 2017 to honor our Nation’s veterans for their faithful service.

My brothers at Operation Iron Ruck focus on ending veteran suicide in Alabama.

We have the highest rate in the country.

Thank you for what you do!The cost of war is not only measured on the battlefield.

Since 9/11, more than 120,000 veterans and service members have been lost to suicide, each one a hero whose story ended too soon. At the Operation Iron Ruck Foundation, we ruck to remember them and fight for those still carrying the weight.

As #SuicidePreventionMonth comes to a close, we ask you to keep the mission alive: check in, reach out, and stand watch over your battle buddies and loved ones. A single message or call could save a life.

If you or someone you know is struggling, dial 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. Help is always available.

No one walks alone.

I can’t be more happy than I am about the wrap on the trailer. It was long overdue!

So there was nowhere else I’d think to take it than to Sign essentials.

You guys knocked it out of the park.

Look for us around town and on the road.

Yesterday we delivered a birthday present to U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran, Ira Brewer.

Ira is our 737th recipient and newest member to the FFV family. PFC Brewer enlisted in the service to his country in Feb. 1966 and was discharged in Feb. 1968. He was a 13A-10 (artillery) assigned to 2/77th Battery C (25th ID) working out of Dau Tang but often forward deployed.

He was wounded in action by shrapnel from an exploded round in March (21st) 1967 while supporting operations at landing zone D.

Ira’s install was sponsored by his niece and her husband, Terry and Kelli Roberts. One of the many people I met a few weeks ago at the 9/11 memorial at Southern Union.

I can never thank you enough for what you did for 2 Vets who just can’t believe that a stranger cared enough for them to be made to feel special. Bless you both and thank you.

“I love the support for our military!!  What a great way to show veterans we will always care about them!”

Spouse of Kenneth Williams, U.S. Army veteran and recipient

“This is truly an embodiment of how committed veterans are to service as they themselves are often the ones planting the flags for others.  An inspiration for all of us on how we should give our own skills and treasures to benefit the greater needs of others.”

Blake Busbin

U.S. History Teacher, Auburn High School
