Continuing the nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) tradition, I want to draw attention to Memorial Day. Specifically to the suicide rate in armed forces.

A veteran commits suicide every 80 minutes (that is 18 per day). It is estimated that veteran suicides account for nearly 20% of all suicides in America, even though less than 1% of the population has served in the military.

Veterans are almost five times more likely to commit suicide than non-veterans. Suicide accounted for more than 25% of all deaths among veterans age 17-24.






If you wish to participate, I need you to make a post in this thread telling me where you want your money to go after you sign up to be a new Elite Member (select one below). I will make a post after the fundraiser ends showing the total amount donated to each organization. This fundraiser is from now to end of Monday, May 26th.

Existing Elite Members are encouraged to make their donation directly to the organization. Feel free to post in this thread that you have done so, to encourage others. I am not able to do it on your behalf due to PayPal rules.



Option 1: Wounded Warriors - Wounded Warrior Project | Wounded Warrior Project



Option 2: Disabled American Vets - Home | DAV



Option 3: United Services Organization - USO


PLEASE NOTE: ELITE MEMBERSHIP TO nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) IS NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Thanks for doing this Mike. As a combat veteran I know many of my fellow vets need the help and appreciate the support.

We have donated today some computers and monitors to a local Veteran charity.
Thank you to those who serve(d) and protect(d) while we here enjoy our freedoms.
On behalf of everyone at Optimus: THANK YOU!

Excellent idea Big Mike. I will not forget to make a donation

Those suicide facts are shocking. A lot of vets are homeless too.

Not to get off topic but it is odd to me that people who leave the US to live somewhere else are called expats or ex patriots.

It kind of sounds like they have joined the enemy or something.
