Welcome to Platoon 22.
We’re a nonprofit, veteran-focused service organization committed to ending veteran suicide through the fostering of meaningful connections and comprehensive support.
We understand the unique challenges faced by veterans and military-connected individuals, and we’re here to ensure they never face those challenges alone.
Our Mission
Combat veteran suicide by creating a robust network of resources and support for those who have served, as well as for the families who served alongside them.
We believe that by connecting veterans with the right tools, resources, and community, we can make a profound difference in their lives and prevent the tragic loss of more of them.
