Join us for a powerful and meaningful evening with special guest speaker William “Bill” Watts of Vet Info.

Bill will address the critical topics of suicide prevention and intervention, while sharing his mission of bringing Veterans together through connection, understanding, and support. Having spoken across the country as part of the Department of Veterans Affairs Gulf War Illness Research Advisory Committee, Bill brings national insight and personal experience to this urgent conversation.

He speaks with honesty about the struggles many carry in silence — shedding light on the dark truths too often left unspoken — and offers hope, awareness, and pathways to support.
