We all have the chance to #BeTheOne for a veteran in crisis. For military and veteran families, that often means being the first to notice when something seems off or when the stress is too much. All families experience stress — military kids, teens, parents, and spouses alike. At the Be The One Symposium today in New Orleans, NMFA elevated their voices with @theamericanlegion leaders from across the nation and joined experts from @randcorporation , @gwotmf , and @bluestarfamilies to share new ideas for how to engage veterans and their whole families to save lives.
