February is African American/Black History Month, a time during which we honor the many contributions made to our country by African Americans. The commemoration continues the tradition of excellence started by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, by honoring the men and women who have played a vital role in the history of our nation.
The Army has designated September as Suicide Prevention Month and the theme for this years' observance is "A Healthy Force is a Ready Force." The Army is working to reduce and eliminate stigma associated with seeking help for suicidal thoughts and actions.
