Two Ways to Participate

Your photo can help remind veterans and their loved ones that support is always within reach. Choose one of the two sign options below to share your story or show your support:

Option 1: Share What Helped You Keep Going

Complete the statement: _____ Saved Me.

Maybe it was a person. A purpose. A teammate. A four-legged friend. A hobby. A community. Or someone who showed up when you needed them most. Whatever your answer, your story matters.

Option 2: Help Raise Awareness

Hold up the crossed-out 17 sign, a symbol representing the estimated 17 veterans who die by suicide each day, to show your support for ending veteran suicide.

Whether you are sharing your story or standing with veterans, every voice helps remind others they are not alone.

Tips for a Great Photo

A clear, simple photo helps your message stand out. Use these tips to make sure your sign is easy to read and your story shines through. 

Photo guidelines:

  Make sure your sign is fully visible and easy to read

  Take your photo in good lighting

  Have someone take the photo, or use a timer.

  Choose a simple, uncluttered background

  Avoid filters or heavy editing — we want to see the real you

  Vertical photos are preferred

Don't overthink it. Just hold up your sign and snap a photo. That's all we need.
