[ [link removed] ]how we can support our veterans
John—

On this Memorial Day, we remember the 4,600 veterans who die by gun
suicide each year.

Veteran suicide is a gun violence crisis: the veteran gun suicide rate
increased by 58 percent from 2003 to 2022. During that period, more than
87,000 veterans died by suicide with a gun.

Recent attacks on veterans—from Trump's funding and personnel cuts to
bills that would make it easier for at-risk veterans to get guns in
moments of crisis—put countless lives at risk.

[ [link removed] ]Honor the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of those who fought
to defend our nation by urging federal lawmakers to support the Saving Our
Veterans Lives Act.

On average, each day, 18 veterans die by suicide in the US—13 with guns.
These tragedies are preventable, and our elected leaders have a
responsibility to work to end this devastating crisis.

The bipartisan Saving Our Veterans Lives Act would allow the VA to offer
gun lock boxes and secure storage information to every veteran who wants
them. Secure storage is the first step in Everytown's Continuum of Gun
Suicide Intervention. This legislation would incentivize a necessary step
to reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths, specifically suicides
amongst veterans.

We have an obligation to provide veterans with the resources they need to
stay safe when they return home. [ [link removed] ]Congress can take the first step by
cosponsoring and passing the Saving Our Veterans Lives Act. Send your
lawmakers a message now.

Thank you for honoring our veterans and being a part of our gun safety
movement.
