WNC veteran groups to hold suicide awareness march Saturday in Carson City
The Western Nevada College Student Veterans Club and WNC Veterans Resource Center invite the community to participate in their annual Veterans Suicide Awareness March this Saturday, May 6 beginning at 10 a.m.
Participants will walk from the intersection of Highway 395 and West College Parkway in Carson City to the WNC campus at 2201 W. College Parkway and back.
The event brings attention to the ongoing reality of veteran suicide, which occurs approximately 22 time a day across the United States, and every 2.75 days in Nevada. Along the way, walkers will view signage that shares caring thoughts of veterans and also acknowledges the suffering and needs many veterans bring home from battle.
After arriving on campus, participants will place small American flags on the college’s front lawn to show solidarity with those who serve.
