00:00.501 --> 00:02.650
(gentle music)

00:02.650 --> 00:05.510
- Look for what's positive in your life,

00:05.510 --> 00:09.820
be it family, work,
the profession of arms,

00:09.820 --> 00:13.190
what we're doing here in the D.C. Guard.

00:13.190 --> 00:15.500
But focus on the positive.

00:15.500 --> 00:18.080
And to the Soldiers,
to their battle buddies

00:18.080 --> 00:20.250
who are around 'em, I would ask

00:20.250 --> 00:23.330
please pay attention to behavior changes.

00:23.330 --> 00:26.260
Look at when somebody, something changes

00:27.222 --> 00:30.260
in their countenance, how
they carry themselves,

00:30.260 --> 00:31.780
what they're talking about.

00:31.780 --> 00:34.900
Look for changes, and
then ask tough questions.

00:34.900 --> 00:37.810
Be willing to look at somebody
and look at a fellow Soldier

00:37.810 --> 00:40.900
or Airman and say, "Hey, are you okay?"

00:40.900 --> 00:44.020
And then make 'em talk,
get 'em to talk with you.

00:44.020 --> 00:46.620
Bring 'em to a chapel
and take 'em to somebody

00:46.620 --> 00:48.410
who can get 'em some help.

00:48.410 --> 00:51.240
So in Suicide Prevention
Month, that's my message.

00:51.240 --> 00:56.200
Be bold, be audacious,
ask tough questions.

00:56.200 --> 00:58.100
And remember, the sun's gonna come up

00:58.100 --> 01:01.533
and the sun's gonna go down,
and every day is a gift.
