‘Check in with 3’ kicks off Veteran Buddy Check Week

Heroes on the Water has kicked off its Check-In Week, a campaign urging people to check in with veterans. In the video, a veteran describes how a member of the organization reached out to him at a critical moment, saying he was “about to become a statistic.”

He says the “check with three” campaign could spread across the group’s chapters nationwide, and that a single check-in might be enough to help someone reset and make different choices.
