TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The Air Force is committed to the ultimate goal of never losing another Airman to suicide. Suicide is about more than numbers; it’s about the individuals and those who love and care for them. Every suicide attempt and death affects countless others who are impacted by the long-lasting consequences of suicidal behaviors.
We can all make a difference by helping Airmen understand they are not alone and positive support is available. One act of kindness or concern makes a difference and could save a life.
Remember: Ask, care and escort…YOU may just be saving a life!!!
