Heroes' Café in Washington works to stop veteran suicide

Hundreds of hats fill the New Life Church in Lynnwood every month, telling you which war, which branch of service, the person wearing it served in.
After socializing over coffee, they all stand and salute as they recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Their hands come down for just a moment, before going back up to salute, while they sing the National Anthem.
It’s a moving, even tearful moment, watching these men and women of various ages, backgrounds, and experiences come together in this fierce show of patriotism.

God bless this cafe. Lord knows the us government is far more concerned with kids who may be trans and might kill theirselves over it, compared to the rate of verteran suicide that is an ongoing problem. It's so sad that it come down to cafes to provide help for something like this. But thank god for em none the less.
