Res. 848, passed the House with unanimous and bipartisan support.\n\n\u201cSupporting our veterans should not begin and end on Veterans Day. With the suicide rate among our nation\u2019s veterans being 2.5 times higher than civilians, I\u2019ve made it a mission to do everything I can to raise awareness for the challenges faced by our veterans and active duty personnel,\u201d said Rep. Hudson. \u201cI am glad National Warrior Call Day is now one step closer to becoming law, and I encourage folks in our community and across the country to check in on someone they know, active-duty or veteran. As the representative of the largest Army base in the world, I have been proud to lead this effort and reduce the stigma around seeking help.\u201d\n\nThe establishment of National Warrior Call Day encourages all Americans to contact someone who has served or is currently serving, and connect struggling veterans with mental health services. This week, Rep. Hudson encouraged constituents to participate in Warrior Call Day.\n\nEarlier this year, Rep. Hudson was joined by 15 bipartisan co-sponsors to introduce the Warrior Call Day resolution. In late September, the Senate companion bill led by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) passed unanimously.\n\nNational Warrior Call Day gained support from 29 veterans organizations and seven former secretaries of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The seven former secretaries of Veterans Affairs who expressed their support for National Warrior Call Day include Robert Wilkie, Anthony Principi, Jim Nicholson, James Peake, Eric Shinseki, Bob McDonald, and David Shulkin.
