Veterans Against Suicide invites the community to attend the official naming ceremony of the SAFE Boat Defender 25 Freedom Fighter.
The Freedom Fighter, a former U.S. Coast Guard Defender-class vessel, will serve as the platform for a national awareness campaign focused on reducing veteran suicide through education, advocacy, and outreach. The ceremony will include remarks from community leaders, veterans, and supporters who share a commitment to addressing one of the most pressing challenges facing our veteran community.
This event marks the public launch of the vessel and the next chapter of Veterans Against Suicide's mission to raise awareness, encourage conversations, and connect veterans and their families with available resources.
