'Operation We Remember' serves as a visual reminder the suicide knows no boundaries.
Two state agencies and colleges and universities around the state are coming together to bring awareness to suicides among veterans.
The purpose of “Operation We Remember” is to serve as a visual reminder the suicide knows no boundaries. The participating schools will display 152 American flags on their campuses during the month of September, which is also National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The 152 American flags honor and remember the same number of veterans in Alabama who lost their lives in suicide in 2020.
In addition to the American flags on those campus, 152 flags will be on display at Riverwalk Stadium from September 7 to September 11, which is the last home game of the Biscuits’ regular season.
