September is Su***de Prevention Month — and a Time to Honor Our Forgotten Fallen

As we recognize Su***de Prevention Month, we’re reminded of the difficult reality that far too many service members and veterans are lost to su***de each year. The Field of Forgotten Fallen serves as a powerful visual reminder of those we’ve lost, and the families that continue carrying their stories and legacy forward.

Next week, Tuesday September 8th, 2026, we here at TCVSA invite our community to come together for a Dedicating Ceramony and Luncheon at 56 Main St. Owego, NY, to bring awareness, remembrance, and hope.

By standing united, we honor the lives of our fallen heroes and strengthen our commitment to supporting those who are still with us.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks—an event that forever changed our nation and the world. We remember the 2,977 lives lost that day, the families whose lives were shattered, and all those who stepped forward in the days, months, and years that followed.

We honor the 343 Firefighters, 23 NYPD Officers, 37 Port Authority Police Department Officers, and 8 EMT's and Paramedics that lost their life that day, and the countless Service Members who answered the call to fight the Global War on Terror. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication will never be forgotten.

A commemorative event will be held at the Ray Shaver Lehigh Valley Depot in Newark Valley, NY, at 5pm on September 11th, 2026. If you’re able, we welcome you to join us as we honor the memory of those we lost and pay tribute to all who served.

Let us come together in reflection, gratitude, and unity.

Each day, we lose cherished members of our military and veteran community to su***de. The field of Forgotten Fallen stands as a solemn tribute to these heroes and a reminder that they are never forgotten. We invite veterans, families, supporters, and community members to gather with us for a special memorial event and luncheon as we honor their lives, support their loved ones, and reaffirm our commitment to Veterans and Military Su***de Awareness.
