A resolution expressing support for the designation of November 16, 2025, as "National Warrior Call Day" and recognizing the importance of connecting members of the Armed Forces and veterans in the United States to support structures necessary to transition from the battlefield, especially peer-to-peer connection.

This resolution expresses strong support for designating November 16, 2025, as "National Warrior Call Day." The primary goal of this designation is to draw national attention to the vital role of connection among members of the Armed Forces and veterans, particularly in supporting those who may be dangerously disconnected from essential support systems. The resolution highlights alarming statistics regarding suicide rates, noting that 523 members of the Armed Forces died by suicide in 2023, and 6,407 veterans died by suicide in 2022. It emphasizes that suicide was the second-leading cause of death for veterans under 45 in 2022, and many affected veterans had no known contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs. To address this crisis, the Senate encourages all individuals, especially active-duty service members and veterans, to "call a warrior" to foster honest conversations and connect them with support. This action is intended to reduce isolation and potentially save lives by engaging with military personnel and veterans through this designated day and other constructive efforts. The resolution implores a recommitment to addressing the invisible scars , such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, that can afflict these individuals.
