"We need to be holistic. It's not just tobacco use; it's suicide prevention & addressing PTSD," says Danny Vargas (@ALVAVets). He emphasizes the need to "decouple" social norms & pathologies to better support veteran health #TheHillHealth #TheHillVeterans https://t.co/DfZjdp9bFO

With U.S. armed forces engaged in kinetic military operations in Iran, ALVA urges everyone to pray for the safety of our sons/daughters in uniform, for the civilian noncombatants in harms way, & for an eventual lasting peace.
