Everyone is familiar with the 22 A Day slogan that represents the 22 veteran's a day that end up taking their own lives. We all know the saying and we all know the 22 A Day push up challenge, but do you know the faces of the 22? Unfortunately for myself and many other veterans around the country, we know the faces of the 22 all too well because they are our brothers and sisters. On August 20, 2024, myself and my Alpha Company brothers from the 2nd Battalion 14th Infantry Regiment lost a brother who become one of the 22 A Day. This past weekend, seven of us gather to say goodbye to our brother Leland Shanle III. In this episode, I talk about the time I spent with Leland in the army, his love for his brothers, and the small things we can do to help our brothers and sister from becoming part of the 22 A Day.
