Task Force 20
Task Force 20 is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and funding of physical fitness activities amongst the veteran community
From their website:
"Most have heard of the 20+ veterans per day who succumb to suicide daily. There seems to be a countless amount of organizations dedicated to raising awareness, and we appreciate their efforts, but Task Force 20 isn't concerned with awareness. We are concerned with how we can stop the NEED for awareness."
