Suicide Annually
Honoring the Forgotten Families
About Red Star Foundation
Every day, an average of 22 veterans die by suicide. Over 8,000 deaths each year. This staggering number doesn’t include the 500+ active military members and 500 first responders who also die by suicide annually. Leaving a void in the hearts of millions of loved ones, while creating pain and grief that ripple through families and communities.
The Red Star Foundation is a nationwide organization dedicated to honoring and supporting the families and loved ones of current military, veterans, and first responders who have tragically lost a loved one to suicide.
Our mission is to honor the forgotten families and provide critical resources to build a strong community that meets the needs of survivors. Through education, training, suicide awareness and prevention programs, bereavement and grief support, and peer-to-peer networking, we are committed to fostering healing and hope.
Red Star Voices
THE POWER OF A STORY
Surviving family and friends share their stories, their heart and their grief about losing a loved one. Throughout these stories, families reflect on their approaches to grief and the healing process, while also acknowledging the importance of community and culture. Their insights show that, through resilience and support, suicide loss survivors can find understanding, meaning, and even joy in their lives while continuing to honor the lives of those they have lost.
