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.
