If your family has lost a military member, veteran, or first responder to suicide, you can request your free Red Star Banner. No family should feel forgotten. No loved one’s service should be erased by the way they died.
The Red Star Banner is more than a banner. It is a symbol of hope. A symbol of recognition. A reminder that Red Star Families are seen, supported, and never forgotten.
Because behind every suicide is a family whose story continues.
