Green Star Service Banner: The Movement Gaining Momentum! Continuing the Push for Federal Recognition Momentum is building, and it’s all thanks to YOU! Every action taken, every conversation started, and every letter sent brings us closer to the federal recognition that will honor families of veterans lost to suicide. Here’s how we’re making waves—and how you can help keep the movement growing! The Power of 22 Letters a Day! Our “22 Letters a Day” Action Challenge is making an impact in Washington, D.C.! By reaching out to Congress, we ensure Green Star Families get the recognition they deserve. We’re in productive talks with Senator John Fetterman’s office and continue working with Congressman Van Drew. Even more exciting—Congressman Morgan Luttrell is interested in cutting through bureaucratic red tape to drive real change.

Why Green Star Matters More Than Ever Veteran suicide remains a crisis, yet no unified effort exists to honor, recognize, or support surviving families. Green Star will change that. ?? Too many veterans are lost to suicide each day, yet their families go unrecognized. ?? Mental health programs exist but lack coordination, limiting their impact. ?? Psychiatric medications are often prescribed without necessary therapy or oversight. With your help, Green Star will unite efforts nationwide and provide families with the recognition and resources they deserve. How You Can Help: The BIG 3! ?? Write 22 Letters a Day—Tell your federal representatives to support Green Star legislation. Contact Here ?? Share this newsletter—You never know who might help! ?? Donate to fuel our fight—With 30+ dedicated volunteers, we need funds for legal fees, outreach, and advocacy resources. Donate Here Together, we can make history. Thank you for standing with us!

Big News: The Green Star Movement is Gaining Momentum! ???? It looks like the censorship is finally lifting, and the Green Star Service Banner initiative is moving forward FAST! Just three weeks ago, our Green Star TikTok channel started gaining traction with veterans and their families, leading to live discussions and the formation of a powerful community of Green Star wives. These incredible women have created a space where surviving families can connect, heal, and break the stigma. From there, the movement expanded to Facebook, where the Green Star Starlings group was born—and it’s growing rapidly! Seeing so many people find strength and support in these spaces is truly inspiring. Legislation Update: The Fight for Green Star Recognition Continues With this surge of support, pushing for Green Star legislation is more important than ever! We submitted a new Green Star Bill draft to Congressman Van Drew’s team on February 5, 2025. While we are eager for movement, progress takes time—and yes, patience isn’t always easy! But there’s BIG news: We’ve connected with Senator Fetterman’s office and have a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, 2025. We believe he will be a strong advocate, and we hope to see bipartisan cooperation on this critical issue! From Awareness to Action: Introducing the #22LettersADay Challenge! For years, we’ve seen awareness challenges like the 22 push-ups a day movement. But awareness alone isn’t enough—it’s time for ACTION. That’s why we’re launching the #22LettersADay Challenge! ?? How it Works: ? Find your federal representatives (Congress, Senate, VP, President) ? Send them a message urging them to support Green Star legislation ? Repeat daily—22 messages a day to demand action! This is how we turn awareness into real legislative change. Lawmakers need to hear from their constituents to push Green Star forward. Let’s make our voices impossible to ignore! ?? Take up the challenge. Send your letters. Be part of history. ?? #GreenStarServiceBanner #22LettersADay #VeteranMentalHealth #EndTheStigma #LegislateChange For Congress & Senators: https://democracy.io/#!/ For the VP & President: https://lnkd.in/ergDnZ7f Green Star Families of America Amy Amoroso VETERANS HELPING VETERANS OF AMERICA, INC Military Times
