Home - 22Mohawks

To us, the mohawk represents the outlier – the person who is not afraid to go against the grain, rise up for what they believe in, and stand tall in the face of adversity. Veterans, First Responders, and those who support them embody the mohawk. When you get a mohawk in support of veteran and first responder suicide prevention, you become a part of a movement that is greater than oneself. 

22Mohawks is proud to assist veterans and first responders who need help navigating everyday life's struggles.
