Operation Twenty-two
Suicide plagues the veteran community at an alarming rate. When we heard of the Salado High School band hosting the 22 HR Walk for suicide prevention we jumped on the opportunity to pitch in. The post donated $250 to the cause. Additionally legion members and family walked the US and other flags along the organizer's designated route during the post's block of time. The flags kept moving along the route in remembrance for 22 hours.
