DALTON, Mass. — In an effort to address the needs of veterans and promote suicide prevention initiatives, the National Commander of the American Legion Daniel J. Seehafer will be visiting American Legion Post 155 on April 4.

 

Seehafer's visit to Dalton will include a meet and greet with local veterans, and a light luncheon during which discussions will focus on the ongoing programs and initiatives of the American Legion, including the "Be The One" campaign.

 

Seehafer often states, "It's personal," emphasizing the importance of serving veterans and preventing veteran suicides. The "Be The One" campaign specifically aims to reduce the number of veterans who die by suicide, a statistic that remains alarmingly high.

 

The initiative, launched two years ago, has already begun to make an impact, garnering momentum and support across the organization. Seehafer expressed his gratitude for being part of such a crucial effort and stressed the honor it is to work towards saving veterans' lives.

 

The event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Post 155, located at 258 North St. Local veterans, community members are encouraged to attend and join the conversation about supporting veterans and preventing veteran suicides.
