Let's take care of each other this holiday season...
I know everyone is caught up in the holiday cheer, but some of us Stage32 peeps are in Los Angeles alone--which can be dangerous. Suicide and other things are real!
When I was in the Army, we had something called "Battle Buddies" where we looked out for a specific other Soldier in our unit. This was way to keep each other safe and under our watch.
I encourage everyone to get a Stage32 battle buddy and check in to see if they're alright.
Suicide Is Real!!

Anthony McBride Well-stated, Anthony. I'm Beyond shocked at the suicide rate. It appears that a dark shadow has covered both America and the rest of the world. These days, I actually check in on my friends and ask them if everything is okay. And they know exactly what I'm asking about. They do the same for me. We NEVER would have even considered questioning one another just a few years ago. So, yeah. I've got a few Battle Buddies and check in on them on a regular basis.

VERY important message, Anthony McBride. Thanks for sharing. "Battle Buddies" sounds like a great idea (for the military and life). I hope anyone dealing with suicidal thoughts gets help. Here's the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline website and number: https://988lifeline.org/ and #988
