Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman and military leaders have kicked off a public awareness campaign to reduce suicides among veterans.
The “Not One More Life” campaign will focus on emotional issues that service members and veterans face.
The campaign is a joint effort of the Nebraska Department of Veterans Affairs and Nebraska Chapter 7 of the Disabled American Veterans.
The campaign includes radio announcements and more than 5,000 bumper stickers that promote a crisis line, 1-800-273-8255. The bumper stickers will be distributed to county veteran services officers in all 93 counties.
The crisis line is available to veterans, as well as their friends and family members.
