Mission 22 is a collaboration between Elder Heart, a veteran non-profit organization, and a global advertising agency. Elder Heart is comprised of Delta Force and Special Forces operators Tom Spooner, Magnus Johnson, and Mike Kissel. Because of their personal battles with PTSD and TBI they have made it their mission to raise awareness, enlist support, and end veteran suicide in America.  The funds raised for Mission 22 and Elder Heart are used to develop unique programs within communities to assist veterans with their transition back into the civilian world and handling PTSD and TBI.  Mission 22 and Elder Heart are also building a memorial to commemorate the one war in the history of the United States that hasn't had a memorial and that's the war that veterans fight on the homefront when they return.

These amazing events are not only successful in raising funds for Mission 22 to help support our returning veterans, but they also continue the quest of community involvement in this serious problem.  We need to let our veterans suffering with PTSD, TBI and thoughts of suicide know that we stand by them and that their communities are here for them.
