Fayette County Military Suicide Prevention Coalition

02/17/2026

OPERATION: LOVE IN ACTION | February Initiative

Today, the Fayette County Military Su***de Prevention Coalition (FCMSPC) spent time at the Thomson-Hood Veterans Center as part of our February initiative focused on strengthening protective factors through presence, support, and connection.

We showed up with intentional conversation, community care, and a small donation of snacks and requested necessities to help brighten the day for the veterans. Because prevention doesn’t always look like a big moment, sometimes it looks like consistency, dignity, and making sure someone feels seen.

Thank you to Thomson-Hood staff for welcoming our coalition, and thank you to every community member who supports this work.

If you’d like to support future visits (cards/notes, requested items, or sponsorship support), message us or visit www.fayettecomspc.org.

Honor. Memory. Mission: Zero.
On December 7, 1941, a quiet Sunday morning turned into a day of unimaginable loss at Pearl Harbor. 🇺🇸
Today, we remember:
• The 2,400+ lives lost
• The Service Members who ran toward danger
• The families whose lives were changed forever

Many who survived Pearl Harbor and World War II came home with wounds that couldn’t be seen, carrying memories, grief, and trauma that followed them long after the war ended.

Pearl Harbor is not just history. It is a powerful reminder that:
•Trauma doesn’t always show on the outside.
•Courage doesn’t always look like a uniform; sometimes it looks like asking for help.
•Our responsibility to one another did not end when the guns went silent.

On this day of remembrance, we recommit to Mission Zero: no Service Member, Veteran, or military family member should feel like they have to fight their battles alone.

If you are struggling with memories, grief, or the weight of it all, your story is not over.
Reaching out is not weakness. It is another act of service, to yourself and the people who love you.

📞 If you or someone you know needs support:
•988, then press 1 – Veterans Crisis Line (call or text)
•Chat: 988lifeline.org
•Reach out to a battle buddy, spouse, family member, chaplain, or provider you trust.

Today we say:
We remember the fallen.
We stand with the living.
We fight for tomorrow.

🕯️ In honor of Pearl Harbor, check on a Veteran or military family today. A simple “How are you really doing?” can be life-saving.
