The Tioga County Veterans’ Service Agency and Tioga County will recognize September as “Suicide Prevention Awareness Month”. This recognition will include an exhibit called ‘Field of the Forgotten Fallen. The exhibit will open Tuesday, September 4th at 9AM on the lawn of the County Building in Owego. The exhibit is designed to raise awareness about the issue of veteran suicide and cause us to pause and reflect on what we can do to help our veterans. 22 veterans a day die by suicide, that’s 154 per week, 660 per month and 8,000 per year.
