#Mission 22

SYNERGY HomeCare has always been proud to support our veterans.  Did you know that more soldiers are lost AT HOME than in all of our current combat missions abroad? Just this year, more than 7,000 veterans will lose the battle against Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other trauma-related disorders. Mission22 is an effort to bring awareness to this shocking statistic and stop it from growing.

Throughout the nation, Mission22 is enlisting civilians to share the story and "claim a number 22"  - on buses, street signs, jerseys, race cars, or anywhere athe number 22 is found.  A memorial will also be created, honoring the soldiers lost at home every day and reminding us of their sacrifices.  You can help raise awareness by changing your social media profile picture or posting an image of a 22 on Instagram.  You can also share the Mission22 video, which tells the personal story of a Delta Force veteran and his struggle with PTSD. Please contact [email protected] for assistance to show your support.  To learn more, please visit  www.mission22.com/#ourcause.
