On Memorial Day, we remember those lost in combat while defending our country. But we also must remember the veterans who return home but are unable to overcome their traumatic experiences once they are stateside. An estimated 21 veterans' lives are lost every day to suicide — casualties of trauma and PTSD here at home on US soil. We ask you to please join us in honoring these traumatized veterans by providing access to life-saving healing for those still suffering alone. The David Lynch Foundation is on the frontlines fighting to get life-saving Transcendental Meditation (TM)® access to veterans across the country, many of whom have been left without adequate support in their transition back to civilian life. We cannot continue losing 21 veterans' lives each day to suicide. The time to act is now. By providing veterans and their families with free TM instruction, we’re reducing PTSD symptoms and suicidal thoughts without medication or therapy based on negative stimuli. When polled, 100% of TM participants reported the practice to be helpful in their recovery. We’re offering veterans a reliable, science-backed path to hope. Help us reach more veterans with life-saving TM instruction this Memorial Day. Thanks to a generous group of supporters, we’re able to match any donation made today to make twice the impact. Donate now at the link in our bio. Thank you so much for helping us honor Memorial Day by bringing healing to those who served.

Our soldiers fight fearlessly for us, but as they return home, who fights for them? As a retired US Army General, the challenges facing unsupported veterans who are beginning the difficult transition to civilian life hits close to home. Throughout active duty, we’re told again and again, “No one left behind.” Yet hundreds of thousands of veterans continue to suffer alone at the hands of their own trauma. Despite the best efforts of the Veterans Administration to reduce suicidal ideation among veterans, we still lose an estimated 21 veteran lives a day to suicide. When we leave a veteran feeling hopeless, we don’t honor our own ethos of “No one left behind.” Our veterans deserve the opportunity to heal the hidden wounds of war, which is why I serve on the board of the David Lynch Foundation’s 21 to NONE® initiative. Through 21 to NONE®, thousands of veterans and their families have had the opportunity to learn Transcendental Meditation® and heal from the wounds of trauma, at no cost to them. For many of us veterans, conventional trauma-focused treatment is ineffective and can even prevent long-term healing. TM is a unique, proven approach that doesn’t rely on negative stimuli or medication, but empowers veterans to overcome their trauma with meditation. With Memorial Day just a few days away, we are proud to offer hope to veterans still searching for healing with the help of community members like you.

Memorial Day is just around the corner. For all of us, it is a day of gratitude and remembrance for those who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Veterans like Corey O’Brien, a US Army and Ohio National Guard veteran who returned home from two tours in Iraq with a traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Acclimating back to civilian life was incredibly tough at first. “I had a very short fuse. My temper was so intense that at times I scared myself. I found myself reacting to situations with violence… I felt like a failure.” In 2017, he finally found something that helped: Corey received a scholarship to learn #TranscendentalMeditation from the David Lynch Foundation and our partner, the Resurrecting Lives Foundation. Almost immediately, Corey started experiencing life-changing results. “I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me two 20 minute sessions a day would make a world of difference…[Now] I can sleep better. I get more done at home, I get more done at work…I became human again. I came back from the dead.” Lack of access to life-saving solutions like #TM have led to the heartbreaking statistic that 21 veterans are lost each day to suicide. This is a tragedy, and we can do something about it. The David Lynch Foundation is dedicated to helping those who served regain their peace of mind by providing free TM instruction to thousands of veterans and their families through our 21 To NONE® initiative. And we aim to reach thousands more. This Memorial Day, we invite you to join our committed community of supporters and help us reach as many of our heroes as possible. Visit / to learn more.
