Reflections... Honoring our Veterans

Tomorrow is Veteran’s Day in the USA and Remembrance Day in Canada. I was inspired by a message from our friends at FieldCore that I wanted to share.

Attached is the message, “Assisting our veterans and mental health”.  I encourage you to read the message and take an action for tomorrow – listen to the Jocko podcast with Sara Wilkinson and Jason McCarthy, engage in the Chad 1000X workout, make a donation (consider ex: Team Rubicon), and most importantly, say thank you to a veteran.

Mental health is a challenge for those who serve and served in the military. It’s also a challenge for those who work in the construction industry. There are resources available for us to help. I encourage you to visit the CPWR Mental Health & Addiction website, that has plenty of resources for us to engage in suicide prevention. And if there is an immediate need for help, remember the 988 Lifeline is available to anyone, anytime.

As of last week we still had 2500+ craft working for APM. Many of you are veterans. Most if not all of you will be working tomorrow. For your sacrifices – whether to defend our freedom or to power our life – I say Thank You!
