Commemorative pins will be passed out. VA got lots of after the event feedback from Veterans last year saying that they didn’t know about it despite their best efforts to get the word out.

The Silhouette Project will be at the University of Southern Maine Lewiston campus on Westminster street . On April 17 at noon the Governor and the president of the college with both Mayors will cut the ribbon on the silhouette project of 22 life size service members that have committed suicide in remembrance and suicide awareness. The silhouettes, each with a message and picture, will be on display that week to bring this issue to the community awareness. There will be snacks after the official ceremony. Everyone is welcome to attend or just drop by that week to pay their respects. Fmi jdewitt@tcmhs.org

American Legion Post 202

Hey everyone, we did it again. Only bigger, with more people, and more money raised. Today friends were made, friends were reconnected, a line in the sand was drawn, we all stood fast and said we will be part of the solution. We can not express how thankful we are to EVERYONE involved today. Damn it we did great today!!

Linda Lajoie has started The Silhouette Project to raise awareness and help prevent veteran suicide after the loss of her son, Dustin. Silhouettes bearing the names of veterans lost to suicide with lists of resources for assistance, and positive messages for and about veterans will be placed in the lobby at the Lewiston campus of USM. This link is a way for you to help support Linda.
