mobility, or potential lack thereof, after they return home from war.

“The mobility is what causes a lot of depression in the men, which causes suicidal tendencies,” Mac Byers said. “When they get wheelchairs that have mobility to them, and special functions where they can go off-road, it just changes their outlook.”

To help Byers collect more funds to give back to injured veterans, donations can be made online at give.wheelchairsforwarriors.org/ fundraiser/3685149,

Byers’ challenge may be complete but the mission to prevent further veteran suicides continues. While awareness of their mental issues may be prevalent, it remains an almost taboo subject of discussion, to not only some families, but the military itself.

“Nobody hears this stuff,” Mac Byers said while discussing the matter. “There’s no awareness, and we hear constantly through our groups about the suicides. This stuff is hidden and boiling inside of these guys. A lot of them just have to be the tough Marine. You suck it up and hold it in, but it destroys them from the inside.”

The couple said that it is crucial that action be taken to prevent further tragedies from occurring. There are countless organizations devoted to seeing that veterans find the help they need. Even if donations cannot be made, spreading the word remains most impactful, they said.

Wear “red on a Friday,” send a prayer when faced with the number 22, Jill Byers said, adding that each action counts toward expanding the cause.
