submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
the ,judiciary  ,,resolution            
,designating ,november #ac1 #bjbb1 as   
,national ,warrior ,call ,day in        
recognition of the importance of        
connecting warriors in the ,united      
,states to support structures necessary 
to transition from the battlefield4     
,whereas establishing an annual         
,national ,warrior ,call ,day will draw 
attention to the members of the ,armed  
,forces whose connection to one another 
is key to the veterans and first        
responders in the ,united ,states who   
may be dangerously disconnected from    

family1 friends1 and support systems2   
,whereas the rate of suicide for members
 of the ,armed ,forces serving on active
 duty increased from #bj4c per #ajj1jjj 
individuals in #bjae to #bh4g per       
#ajj1jjj individuals in #bjbj2 ,whereas 
the suicide rate for veterans has       
steadily increased since #bjjf1 with    
#f1bfa veterans taking their own lives  
in #bjai2 ,whereas1 after adjusting for 
sex and age1 the rate of veteran suicide
 in #bjai was #ca4f per #ajj1jjj        
individuals1 substantially higher than  
the rate among adults in the ,united    
,states who are not veterans at #af4h   
per #ajj1jjj individuals2 ,whereas more 
veterans have died by suicide in the    
last #aj years than members of the      
,armed ,forces who died from combat in  
,vietnam2 ,whereas many of the veterans 
who take their own lives have had no    
contact with the ,department of         
,veterans ,affairs2 ,whereas the        
,coronavirus ,disease #bjai             
7,,covid-#ai7 pandemic continues to lead

 to increased isolation and             
disconnection1 further exacerbating     
mental and physical ailments such as    
post-traumatic stress disorder and      
traumatic brain injury2 ,whereas        
invisible wounds linked to an underlying
 and undiagnosed traumatic brain injury 
can mirror many mental health           
conditions1 a problem that can be       
addressed through appropriate medical   
treatment2 ,whereas additional research 
is needed to highlight the connection   
between traumatic brain injury as a root
 cause of invisible wounds and suicide  
by members of the ,armed ,forces and    
veterans2 and ,whereas ,november #ac1   
#bjbb1 would be an appropriate day to   
designate as ,national ,warrior ,call   
,day3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the  
,senate-- 7#a7 designates ,november #ac1
 #bjbb1 as ,national ,warrior ,call     
,day2  7#b7 encourages all individuals  
in the ,united ,states1 especially      
members of the ,armed ,forces serving on
 active duty and veterans1 to call up a 

warrior1 have an honest conversation1   
and connect them with support1          
understanding that making a warrior call
 could save a life2 and  7#c7 implores  
all individuals in the ,united ,states  
to recommit themselves to engaging with 
members of the ,armed ,forces through   
,national ,warrior ,call ,day and other 
constructive efforts that result in     
solutions and treatment for the         
invisible scars they carry4
