Soldier Suicide

We don’t like it, but we understand why it happens. OAS supports the families left behind.

Soldier Suicide Reference Center

Soldier Suicide happens for the some of the same reasons that civilian suicides occur, but some are unique to those who currently serve and those who served in the past. 

Here we attempt to bring together our best references to get help and more.

View the latest VA report on Soldier Suicide

Published in 2016, this report was 13 years in the making. Besides being the first of its kind, the report entitled: Suicide Among Veterans and Other Americans 2001–2014 ignited greater awareness of the issue. Social media also played a large role in bringing soldier suicide, and veteran suicide, into our collective consciousness.

Sponsors Frequently Asked Questions

How does Once a Soldier find the families to help?
We use a combination of information supplied by the Veterans Administration, our own research, and being contacted by the families themselves. We anticipate a backlog of waiting families in need.
How exactly do you help the families?
We offer families the option to tell us what they need most first. When we verify their situation, our first option is a financial solution to their most pressing problems. Our mission is to offer aid and comfort, so we want to be flexible to what will do them the most good in their individual circumstance. 
How can my organization write off 100% of our support?
Having a deep background in helping other non profits marketing, we provide those kind-hearted supporters by offering an advertising option with Once a Soldier. We will co-advertise with some of our Google Adwords grant and co-brand with you on our other social media outlets. 
Why do you sell merchandise?
Our experience has shown that giving something back to every donor is a great way to thank them and grow the mission. We will continue to find ways to make it more efficient so more of our revenue can get into the hands of the veteran suicide families.
How often do you send financial help to the victims' family?
Our plan is to send aid and comfort once a month to start. Our revenue growth will dictate how that will grow on contract, but if our projections bear out, we will double that in the second year. Our business plan and marketing help will be leveraged to make as many “silver lining” calls as possible. Your gift is a great way to help.
