To help prevent the suicide epidemic that is plaguing our returning vets this website supports the Veteran’s Crisis Line. If you know of any soldier in need do not hesitate to help. For more info about the Veteran’s Crisis Line read on…
To emphasis the fact recently Time had a story titled “The War On Suicide?”. It’s a sobering article and one every vet should read. (I have a copy for any who are interested.)
Regards,
Commander Sullivan

The West Seattle Junction Association puts up flags on all appropriate occasions. The volunteer job includes meeting Don, our handyman, at 7:30 am to put them out, and 6pm to put them away. (The flags are stored in the basement of the Cupcake Royale building and the job requires a lot of stair walking).
We are looking to create a list of interested people, so if you’d like to be called upon for September 11th and 16th or in the future, please e-mail Liz Schroeder at liz@wsjunction.org or call 935-0904.
